The firm provides counseling in various fields of administrative law, especially in regulated sectors such as basic sanitation, highways, transportation, gas, oil and pharmaceuticals. We were one of the first to operate in these areas and one of the most active during periods of privatization, when we participated in cases involving the petrochemical industry, companies such as Light, Escelsa and Embraer, banks and state mixed-capital companies.
We represent clients before government agencies at federal, state and municipal levels, planning defenses in administrative proceedings and providing full advisory services regarding concession contracts, permits and authorization by regulatory bodies. We have considerable experience in public bids, including structuring of consortia and drafting the necessary documents. We have also set up internal systems for controlling and monitoring administrative contracts, and have specialists who are equipped to render legal opinions on topics in the field and assist clients in negotiations with governmental authorities.
Our team has advised various airline companies on how to obtain fair indemnities so as to guarantee continued economic and financial equilibrium in their concession contracts, and has also taken legal action to ensure total compliance of such contracts.
