State-controlled entities and institutions

State-controlled entities are subject to detailed rules that are continuously amended at both national and European level. On an ongoing basis, entities need to consider how they should organise themselves and whether any procedural changes need to be made – keeping in mind that such assessments tend to attract significant political attention and allow only a minimal margin for error.

Our practice group has extensive experience in advising all types of state-controlled entities on the legal and commercial risks and opportunities presented by new regulations.

We have in-depth knowledge of the continuing regulatory changes faced by state-controlled entities. Our interdisciplinary expertise ensures that you receive advice that puts your business a step ahead of the rest and helps you implement new legislative requirements in a value-maximising way.
