First of all, public contract law (public procurement, concessions, occupation of the public domain, etc.). He assists French and international public entities and private operators in the conclusion and performance of their contracts, both as counsel and in litigation, with particular expertise in infrastructure concessions and PPPs (public-private partnerships). he is often involved in dealing with difficulties in the performance of public contracts, both in litigation and in the context of alternative dispute resolution.

Secondly, the regulation of economic activities. Benjamin assists clients in highly regulated sectors (transport, gaming, energy, data, health, etc.) or in matters where public authorities are involved (State aid, public company law, foreign investment control, etc.). In particular, he represents numerous private operators before domestic and European courts and authorities, in the context of contentious challenges to decisions or rules, or their consequences in terms of compensation. He also assists these operators in the context of their public affairs strategy.

Thirdly, compliance and criminal law. Benjamin advises numerous clients on public criminal law and ethics, both in the context of litigation before the criminal courts, in conjunction with the firm’s criminal lawyers, and in the implementation of prudential measures – in particular the obligations arising from the Sapin II law.
