SUITS AGAINST PUBLIC BODIES
The basic rule to "not do harm to others" and to refrain from actions that may breach the civil obligation of duty of care is applicable not only to natural persons and legal entities but also to public bodies, such as the State and municipalities. The rule simply states that he who breaches the civil obligation of duty of care and as a result - inflicts loss or harm to another - is legally liable and has to repair the caused damages.
This is why we offer our clients an in-depth analysis of all relevant facts and circumstances relevant to a particular case regarding damages caused by a public body.

ADMINISTRATIVE LAW & PROCEDURE
Administrative law governs the activities of executive government authorities. Basically this means that it regulates the activities of public bodies withing the administration itself and in some cases - outside of the administration. It is precisely because administrative activities can reach out to the private or business sphere that we offer services to our clients, which include but are not limited to:
- Receiving of public information;
- Registering, changing of circumstances and deregistering from public registers;
- Obtaining certain licenses and permits;
- Appealing of administrative acts (such as unlawful police arrest; penal decrees imposing different administrative sanctions - ex. fines; and other acts of executive public authorities).
ENFORCEMENT
We offer advice and representation in enforcement procedures. Enforcement is the forced execution of court judgments and other enforceable titles. It is a procedure that tries to ensure that parties will comply with their obligations and with the courts' ruling. It is a way to force the unfair obligor (debtor) to act in accordance with his obligations. And although it is connected with the court's consideration of a certain claim, enforcement is an entirely different procedure that has to be viewed as a "natural continuation" to the preceding court procedure. There are specific legal entities that are unique to this procedure (ex. Private Enforcement Agents) and there are specific means for forcing the obligor to comply, which can have a serious effect on your legal sphere (such as seizure of remuneration; seizure of a bank account; foreclosure; etc.).
