This service is for anyone who needs to assert their rights against a public authority. The administrative stage is a precondition the law imposes, not the end of the road: what matters is how solid the claim before the court is when the authority does not give way. The service covers the entire process, with the strategy pointed at the court from the very first filing. It is the right route if you have been refused a licence or a benefit, or if an administrative decision is causing you harm. By the close of the engagement you will have exhausted every stage with representation built around the judicial outcome.
Litigating against a public authority involves two stages that the law separates but which have to be designed together from the outset. This service covers the whole process at a fixed fee, from the initial administrative application through to the claim before the administrative court, with the strategy pointed at the court from the very first filing. The Strategy Memorandum sets out the roadmap without concealing how difficult the matter is. Every step is included. Nothing is added because proceedings drag on: you know from day one what it will cost.
A 60-minute working session by video call in which we analyse your situation, your specific needs and our ability to help you. We assess whether we can take on the matter and give you the fixed price in advance. You can book it directly through the Google Calendar link on our website and pay €90 by Stripe.
Document produced once the engagement is accepted, setting out the agreed legal strategy for the matter. It specifies the procedural approach, the main arguments, the evidence to be deployed and the objectives of the proceedings. It is the roadmap for the case and the reference point for any subsequent tactical decision.
Drafting and filing of the application or claim before the competent administrative body that opens the prior administrative channel. Sets out the facts, grounds the claim in law and frames the relief sought with precision, preserving every available course of action and avoiding time bars that would narrow the options in subsequent judicial review proceedings.
Ongoing attention to the matter between the main steps: deadline control, procedural or administrative follow-up, response to requests for correction and management of court notifications. The client hears from us each time there is a development in the file, and never has to ask in order to know what is happening.
Drafting and filing of the ordinary administrative appeal against the decision rejecting the initial claim. Exhausts the prior administrative channel with an argument that prepares the judicial review proceedings on the most favourable terms available, anticipating the points the court will have to resolve.
Drafting and filing of the document initiating proceedings, in which the client's claims are brought, the facts are set out with legal precision and the relief sought is grounded in the applicable law and case law. Signed and filed before the competent court, with the documentary evidence properly ordered and referenced.
Preparation for and attendance at the trial hearing: organisation of the evidence, formulation of closing submissions and oral defence of the client's claims before the court. Includes prior analysis of the evidentiary outcome, adjustment of the argumentative strategy and management of the proceedings through to notification of judgment.
