Administrative Justice & the State Council

The Idea

The administrative judiciary is the route for reviewing decisions of government bodies. Importantly, the time limit for an annulment action is generally sixty days from knowledge of the decision, after which the right may be lost. We review the decision and its grounds promptly, file the appropriate action before the State Council courts, and pursue it up to the Supreme Administrative Court — one of the firm's core areas of practice.

What We Do

• Actions to annul administrative decisions and to stay their execution.
• Compensation claims for unlawful administrative decisions and acts.
• Civil-service matters: promotions, disciplinary penalties and entitlements.
• Licensing disputes and closure and demolition orders.
• Administrative contracts and public tender disputes.
• Appeals before the Supreme Administrative Court.

How We Work with You

We begin with a consultation, in person or remotely, followed by a written opinion on your position, then a written fee agreement defining the scope, and periodic written reports as the file progresses. See the full engagement steps.
