Public Law: Planning & Environment

... in litigation and in regulation - we play a significant role in all major public law developments, and in energy and environment matters.

We are the go-to firm for both leading corporates and state-owned entities when it comes to general public law matters, including freedom-of-information requests, large subsidies, public enforcement (under both criminal and administrative law) and privatisations. There is a vast array of infrastructure projects and complex public law matters that we regularly advise on. The Dutch government frequently consults us as the leading experts, to help improve and adapt, or consider the implications of, new or existing legislation. In addition, partner Jasper van Uden acts as a public law adviser to the Dutch House of Representatives.

Our team has proven its ability to spearhead complex energy infrastructure projects, environmental litigation and other public law matters. We combine outstanding legal expertise with practical hands-on work and the ability to liaise with technical experts to build strong cases that withstand judicial review by third parties.

It is this multidisciplinary nature and ability to create an integrated team tailored to match the client's requirements – at the highest level – which makes our team unique.
