Public contracts make up a significant share of the global economy, allowing public entities to obtain best value-for-money goods or services from private businesses. From common and standardized products to big infrastructure projects or innovative services—the range of sectors benefiting from public spending is very broad. This requires the presence of skillful lawyers with an extensive knowledge of domestic regulations and characteristics of several markets.

Given the specificity of each country’s tendering procedures, it is vital for businesses to receive the best legal advice from experienced local professionals, who know not only how to win public contracts but also how to perform them to the benefit of both public and private entities. At Dentons we help to go through the whole tendering procedure, solving any risks that may occur, making use of legal remedies and performing the contract in accordance with any applicable rules. We combine Dentons’ legal experience with a practical approach and deep knowledge of industries in which our clients operate, such as transportation, construction, energy or defence.

We also provide assistance to public clients, helping them to achieve their goals through public tenders. Our Public Procurement lawyers help in setting objectives, choosing the best legal solutions and conducting the tender until the contract is awarded. A real understanding of the needs of public entities mixed with our business experience, allows us to take a creative approach when dealing with public clients.
