Administrative Law:
Our team is specialised in Administrative Law, acting competently in matters involving the relationship between citizens, public servants and the public administration at all levels – national, regional and local. We provide assistance both in defending the rights of private individuals and in offering legal support to public servants, including active employees, retirees and pensioners, always with the aim of ensuring adherence to the principles of legality, propriety and efficiency in public administration.
Defence of the Rights of Public Servants
We offer comprehensive legal support to public servants at all stages of their careers. We act in the defence of functional rights, ensuring the fulfilment of acquired rights, career progressions, promotions, the granting of pensions and retirement benefits, as well as the review of benefits. We also provide assistance in cases of suspension, redeployment, reinstatement and dismissal, always upholding due process and fairness in public sector employment relations.
Writ of Mandamus
The writ of mandamus is an important legal instrument used to protect clear and indisputable rights that are being violated by an act of a public authority or an agent of a public entity in the exercise of public power. Our team is experienced in filing such actions, working swiftly to ensure that our clients’ fundamental rights are preserved, whether in matters of individual or collective interest.
State Liability
We assist our clients in cases involving state liability for damages caused to third parties, whether through the actions or omissions of its agents. We pursue compensation for both material and non-material damages, ensuring that the aggrieved citizen receives appropriate indemnification for losses incurred due to failures or abuses by the public administration.
Disciplinary Administrative Procedure (DAP)
The Disciplinary Administrative Procedure is the process by which a public servant is investigated and, if necessary, penalised for inappropriate conduct or functional lapses. Our team provides qualified technical defence at all stages of the DAP, ensuring that the rights of public servants are respected, including the right to a fair hearing and full defence, thereby avoiding unjust or arbitrary sanctions.
Public Examinations
In the field of public examinations, we provide assistance both to candidates and to already-appointed public servants. For candidates, we handle judicial and administrative claims relating to public notices, appointments, unjust exclusions and infringements of rights during the selection process. For appointed servants, we ensure the defence of their rights regarding the assumption and exercise of their positions, particularly in cases of transfer, redeployment and job security.
Other Judicial and Administrative Procedures
In addition to the areas already mentioned, we are prepared to handle a wide range of administrative and judicial procedures related to Administrative Law. This includes challenges and defences in public tenders, administrative contracts, public service concessions and regulatory matters. Our team also advises our clients in actions concerning the legality of administrative acts, always striving for compliance with constitutional principles and justice. By entrusting our firm, you benefit from an experienced and dedicated team, capable of acting efficiently and with commitment in all areas of Administrative Law, always focusing on defending your rights and promoting swift and effective solutions for matters involving public administration.
