Public procurement

We offer professional legal assistance at every stage of the awarding public procurement procedure, starting of the stage of preparing the offer through the decision stage, up to the stage of contract implementation. Legal assistance in the field of public procurement is provided by the Department of Public Procurement Law, which is composed of specialized legal counsels, legal counsel apprentices and lawyers with years of practical experience in applying the provisions of the Public Procurement Law. Legal counsels of the Department will efficiently guide you through the appeal procedure, as they effectively represent our clients before the National Appeals Chamber, by which they contribute to the issuing of judgments of key importance for other participants of the public procurement market, often breaking the current ruling line. We prepare legal opinions, audits and analyzes.
