Administrative Law
Barnabas Denes
Administrative law governs relations between the State and individuals. Complex and varied regulations govern the daily actions of public authorities in their dealings with the population. The law aims to ensure the balanced functioning of the administration, while respecting the rights of citizens.
Nous représentons et conseillons des personnes physiques et morales dans leurs relations et leurs litiges avec l’Etat, notamment en matière d’autorisations pour l’exercice d’activités, de responsabilité de l’Etat, de procédures disciplinaires, de sanctions administratives, et de rapports de travail d’employés et de fonctionnaires cantonaux ou communaux. Nous intervenons tant en amont, au cours des discussions avec les autorités et des demandes d’autorisations, que dans le cadre de la contestation en justice des décisions prises par les services de l’Etat, cantonaux ou fédéraux.
