Jones Day‘s ’proactive and creative‘ team covers the full spectrum of contractual, regulatory and contentious matters in the public law field. The firm has a stellar record of advising on public procurement, concession contracts and project finance in relation to large-scale public infrastructure projects, particularly in the transport, energy and telecoms sectors, and is also skilled in administrative litigation concerning public contracts, regulatory issues and claims against the French state. The team’s expertise in regulatory law further extends to advising on FDI control. At the head of the practice, Philippe Delelis has a wealth of experience in public law, particularly in administrative litigation, and Nicolas Brice is called upon to advise on the full range of public contracts, regulatory issues and litigation. Other notable names include Xavier Domino and Pierre Barthélemy.
