Public sector and public-private partnership

DEGA PARTNERS provides legal support to state-owned and municipal enterprises, institutions and organisations, as well as to Ukrainian and international companies and investors that cooperate with the public sector or carry out joint projects with it.

Working in the public sector requires an understanding of the specific legal status of its participants, decision-making procedures, management of state and municipal property, public procurement and regulatory restrictions. These factors directly affect business activities, investment opportunities and the implementation of projects.

Our expertise covers legal support for state-owned and municipal enterprises, legal audits, privatisation, management of public assets, procurement, public-private partnerships and concessions. We combine corporate, commercial, regulatory and infrastructure expertise with the protection of our clients' interests in court.

We help clients find practical legal solutions that take into account the specifics of public regulation, protect their property interests and create a proper legal basis for implementing business and investment projects.
