Public Procurement & Public Projects
Our team of experienced and respected professionals offers full-scope services related to public procurement, public-private partnerships, EU funding and other related matters. We have advised on many high-value and complex procurements. For example, we are proud to be providing constant pan-Baltic support to RB Rail AS, the coordinator and one of the main implementers of the biggest infrastructure project in the history of our region: the multi-billion greenfield railway infrastructure project Rail Baltica. We have also had a hand in amending laws on public procurements across the Baltics, and in other legislative initiatives.
