Public Procurement & Public Projects

Managing the challenges of public procurement, public-private partnerships, and EU funding requires a team of experienced and respected professionals. We have a wealth of experience advising on numerous high-value and complex procurements.

For example, we are proud to provide ongoing pan-Baltic support to RB Rail AS, the coordinator and one of the leading implementers of Rail Baltica, the largest infrastructure project in our region’s history. Our significant project involvement demonstrates our capability to handle large-scale, multi-billion euro initiatives.

Additionally, we have played a key role in amending public procurement laws across the Baltics and have participated in other legislative initiatives. This not only highlights our legal expertise but also our commitment to improving the regulatory environment for public procurements.
