ADMINISTRATIVE

We benefit from over thirty years’ experience in administrative law, offering assistance to private individuals as well as leading national and international companies in administrative relations with public administrations, bodies and companies.

Relying on Piselli & Partners, you can count on a team of professionals highly specialized in all fields of administrative law, from public contracts (works, services and supplies) to the regulation of territorial government (urban planning, environment and energy), as well as antitrust, pharmaceutical law and public employment law as well as administrative-accounting responsibility.

We support our clients with global protection, providing legal advice at every stage of tender procedures, representation in court before all Italian judicial bodies (T.A.R., Ordinary Courts, Tribunals and Courts of Appeal throughout Italy, Council of State, Court of Auditors and Supreme Court of Cassation) and in the EU (European Court of Justice, ECHR), as well as before national Authorities (AGCM, ANAC, AGCOM, ARERA) and the European Commission.

We offer legal assistance in all areas related to administrative public contracts – for participation and tendering – and in civil law, for execution of the contract.
We follow litigation in this sector before any civil court (Ordinary Courts, Court of Appeal, Court of Cassation), administrative courts (TAR, Council of State), special courts (Regional and Superior Courts of Public Water), as well as before public and private, national and international arbitration panels in connection with the Bonario Agreement and other forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution.

We assist our clients in the EU (EU Court of Justice, European Commission) and in proceedings before Independent Administrative Authorities, including the A.N.A.C. (former Supervisory Authority for Public Contracts for Works, Services and Supplies) and the Competition and Market Authority.

In the current public finance climate, using contracts involving private capital for public works and services has an increasingly central role in public contracts. This means companies and public clients need to go beyond traditional procurement models. It is therefore essential to combine legal experience with financial, fiscal and management skills.
With this in mind, at Piselli & Partners we assist companies and public clients in all phases of Concessions and Public-Private Partnership initiatives – from presenting the proposal to conclusion of the work or service, including public tenders and assistance in any administrative or civil litigation.

We provide assistance with architecture and engineering services, for public and private contracts during tendering and execution.

In addition to traditional design, we offer legal and technical-design consultancy (together with external professionals), as part of the new BIM method for designing and implementing public works and related Collaborative Agreement contracts committing all parties involved.

Concluding robust agreements between companies and choosing contracts that best suits the customer’s needs are crucial for protecting a business and managing any litigation.
While in the past a simple handshake may have sufficed, it is now essential to draw up specific documents to protect the company in many ways and avoid defaults or economic problems that could negatively impact expected economic results. Piselli & Partners offers complete assistance to identify, evaluate, address and draft the most appropriate agreement to the specific case, to protect and safeguard the client from any negative event and ensure a successful conclusion of the activity.

The need to balance protection of the environment and natural resources with safeguarding economic competitiveness is increasingly central to national and European policies that are looking to move towards a circular economy which rethinks traditional production strategies and market models.
At Piselli & Partners we assist public and private entities in this process of change, both in the energy sector (especially renewable energy) and the environment (especially Green Public Procurement), offering advice on financial, real estate and tax law and related administrative, civil and criminal litigation.

We provide legal assistance in all extra-judicial and judicial areas related to the transformation, use and regulation of land. This includes proceedings concerning traditional building and urban regeneration interventions (both direct and contracted), environmental, landscape and cultural interest permits and authorizations, building sanctions (orders to suspend work, demolition, reduction in pristine areas, property acquisitions), regularization procedures and building amnesties, expropriation proceedings and contesting compensation from expropriation for public utility as well as all other proceedings, contracts or agreements in any way connected with building activity (including proceedings to recognize tax bonuses, preliminary contracts and contracts to buy land).

In the ever-evolving legal and regulatory organizational context of Public Administration, including private law companies with a majority of public capital and in-house companies, the scope of accounting and administrative responsibility has widened and extended with additional variations. Particular attention must undoubtedly be paid to verifying whether under private law a corporate entity is fully autonomous and distinct. This includes those in authority and the shareholders as well as whether the entity has its own assets (corporate entity under private law) distinct from those who hold shares. We at Piselli & Partners, deal with all issues relating to administrative and accounting liability in a service relationship with Public Administration as well as accounting liability which could create a public finance loss. We provide assistance in pre-litigation and in proceedings before regional Courts of Auditors, courts of appeal, court chambers and special chambers of the Court of Auditors.
