Public law

Whether in relation to building infrastructure for a major global sporting event – with involved public contract tender procedures and ensuing urban redevelopment projects – or financing district heating systems and their integration into existing infrastructure, cross-sectoral public law expertise is vital for complex and high-profile projects and their success.

Osborne Clarke's public law team has developed a reputation as an established point of advice and performance of public contracts: we assist both awarding authorities and entities and economic operators on all issues related to their performance, as well as those awarded through PPP schemes.
