Public Law

About

Provided by Pinheiro Neto Advogados

A thorough knowledge and understanding of public law - which is governed by specific legislation that makes it differ from private law in many ways - is essential to protect the interests of our clients and help them navigate the complex realms of public administration. 

We take a problem prevention approach to steer our client’s business success through the overwhelming regulatory quandaries and the way the public sector manages its contracts and relationship with private players. If a dispute arises, we are equipped to provide our clients with objective and effective legal advice and to defend their interests in and out of court.

Essentially composed of litigation attorneys with experience in administrative and judicial proceedings, our team acts in advisory and litigation cases revolving around administrative and public law matters. With a long history of serving clients in a wide array of sectors and industries, we tap into our academic and practical knowledge to favor the prevention and resolution of conflicts.

Our attorneys have broad experience in public procurement and administrative contracts, public concessions and public-private partnerships (PPPs), right of use and disposal of government-owned assets, and matters involving malfeasance in office, fiscal responsibility and other related issues. We are frequently engaged in regulatory matters, mainly those concerning ports, airports, highways, railroads, and sanitation.
