Practice area Administrative law
Administrative law is an important part of public law. Within the government & property section, our lawyers are also specialised in other fields of administrative law in addition to Nature/Environmental Protection, Environmental law and Expropriation & the Municipalities (Preferential Rights) Act. Administrative law, which regulates the relationship between citizens/entrepreneurs and the government, is dynamic and complex. Apart from environmental law, it also comprises for example legislation and regulations pertaining to public order, subsidies, openness of administration and sustainable energy. We are specialists with a great deal of advice and litigation experience in all of those areas.Sharing knowledge
