From supporting clients through regulatory crises to representing them in litigation against public authorities, our lawyers bring together strategic insight and strong advocacy to deliver solutions that are effective, proportionate, and commercially focused.
What We Deliver
We provide comprehensive support in administrative law, government-related litigation, and public procurement, including:
- Challenges to, and defence of, government regulations, agency decisions, and enforcement actions
- Advocacy and representation before the Council of State, the Court of Auditors, ordinary administrative courts, and regulatory authorities
- Advising and representing clients in disputes relating to public contracts and procurement procedures
- Assistance with permits, authorizations, approvals, and regulatory filings.
Administrative Law & Litigation: We regularly act in enforcement proceedings before administrative courts and commissions and have extensive experience both challenging and defending regulations and other agency actions in court. In particular, we provide full support in proceedings before the Council of State, the Court of Auditors, and ordinary administrative courts, including the drafting of claims and representation in formal hearings. Our team also has vast experience litigating against administrative and regulatory agencies. We advise on a wide range of agency-related matters, including variances, exemptions, approvals, and regulatory opinions, where our familiarity with regulators and sector-specific expertise is often decisive.
Public Procurement and Competitive Tendering: We advise on public procurement and competitive tendering, guiding clients – both contracting authorities and bidders – through complex procedures, managing compliance risk, and supporting them at every stage of the process. Our work spans procurement strategy, bid structuring, contract drafting and negotiation, and dispute resolution, including bid challenges and contract award disputes.
Government Contracts: We have extensive experience advising on government contracts, including public-private partnerships (PPP) and large-scale infrastructure, healthcare, and energy projects. We act for both public authorities and private companies, ensuring contractual arrangements are robust, compliant, and commercially workable. Our practice is also recognized for its litigation strength, advising on disputes arising both before contract award and during contract performance. We work closely with clients to develop effective strategies aligned with their objectives and budgetary considerations.
Compliance Counseling: At Nikolinakos & Partners we provide compliance counseling, designing and implementing government contracts compliance programmes and offering targeted advice on specific risk areas to help clients manage obligations across their operations.
