Government & Public Sector
Government and public-sector mandates sit at the intersection of public authority, policy, regulation and commercial consequence. Clavius advises sovereign and public-sector clients, institutions and businesses engaging with government on significant domestic and cross-border matters involving public law, policy, procurement, infrastructure, regulation and disputes.
Our experience spans sovereign representation, public international law, administrative and constitutional matters, public procurement, concessions and public-private partnerships, regulatory engagement and policy-related advisory. We also act where government action intersects with investment, enforcement, environmental regulation, technology, financial crime or multijurisdictional proceedings.
