More than 80 percent of our law is administrative law...

You need an administrative law lawyer sooner than you might think.

Your permit for your extension has been denied; what can you do? What can you do about an unfavorable change in the zoning plan that suddenly decreases the value of your property? How do you claim damages from the government? Can you always file an objection and appeal against a government decision? Within what timeframe must a permit application be decided? You are partially incapacitated for work; can you claim a benefit?

These are just a few examples of the many varied topics covered by administrative law. Administrative law addresses the legal relationship between the government and citizens and is by far the most comprehensive area of law within legal practice. Administrative law establishes rules that public bodies must follow, providing citizens with protection against government decisions. Although administrative law is meant to be accessible, it includes a vast amount of constantly changing laws and regulations. We stay up-to-date with recent developments and know our way around this dynamic legal field. With current knowledge at hand and a pragmatic approach, we are ready to guide you through administrative law and provide you with advice. We also support you in administrative legal proceedings.
