Public law

YOUR CHALLENGES

The entire business world takes place within a public law framework that ranges from European law to federal and state law to municipal law. In many sectors and areas, it is not only individual references to public law that need to be taken into account, such as the notification under trade law of the commencement of a business activity. In fact, authorisation requirements and compliance with public law regulations determine in particular the use of land and other natural resources as well as activities in technical areas.

 

In times of widespread mistrust in public administration and rapidly organised project opponents, the preparation of a procedure for obtaining a permit/authorisation and the implementation of the procedure itself require sound knowledge of public law.

The lawyers at SNP have many years of experience in supporting project sponsors in official proceedings with and without public participation.
