Recent years have seen increasing economic regulatory requirements at European and local levels, in terms of both formal legal requirements and less formal “soft law”. There are also specialized regulators for many industries, helping to create and enforce sector-specific rules.

States themselves (EU members or not) have enacted rigorous, complex regulations regarding procurement and the awarding of concessions or PPP contracts for the design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of motorways, power plants and other infrastructure projects using natural resources.

This is where our Regulatory and Procurement team steps in. We advise clients across the CEE/ SEE region on the regulatory and procurement law frameworks that affect their daily work and long-term success. These clients are drawn from a variety of sectors, including construction, life sciences, banking and finance, insurance, public transport, waste management, infrastructure, telecoms, energy and utilities.

We are not only well versed in our field, we also work hard to become equally knowledgeable about your business needs. We believe this is the key to providing practical advice that helps you meet your commercial objectives. Which is no doubt why we regularly advise on regulatory requirements in some of the most complex M&A or infrastructure transactions, procurement processes, and compliance requirements.

Our excellent contacts with public authorities allow us to couple legal expertise with a ‘practical touch’, creating solutions that work in the real world. And with many requirements harmonized through European directives and regulations, we gain a great deal from the close co-operation and transfer of knowledge between our offices all over the CEE/SEE region.
