LEXIA provides integrated and specialist coverage in administrative law, with consolidated expertise in assisting clients both in advisory and out-of-court matters and in litigation before Regional Administrative Courts and the Council of State.
The Practice brings together professionals with complementary skills covering the full spectrum of the subject, ensuring structured assistance in the areas of urban planning and construction, public employment and administrative litigation. The approach combines technical and legal rigor, multidisciplinary integration and innovative tools, with the aim of providing effective, consistent and sustainable solutions over time.
Administrative proceedings and transactions require cross-disciplinary expertise spanning taxation, labour law, corporate law, environmental and regulatory matters. For this reason, the Administrative Law Practice works in a structured manner with the firm’s other teams, ensuring clients receive comprehensive and integrated support at every stage and across all aspects of their transactions.
We assist a diverse client base comprising medium and large-sized companies, institutional investors, economic operators, public authorities and publicly owned entities.
Urban Planning, Construction and Land Governance
We assist public and private investors and operators in structuring and implementing real estate and territorial development transactions, providing advice on general urban planning instruments and related amendments, implementation plans and complex urban programmes, urban planning agreements and public-private arrangements, urban regeneration, public domain, concessions of public assets and expropriation, as well as urban planning due diligence and building compliance of properties. We also support companies and entities in managing authorisation proceedings and relations with public authorities, including building permits, certificates of habitability, regularisation, authorisations for economic activities through the SUAP and transparency and anti-corruption matters.
Public Employment and Administrative Organisation
We assist public administrations and personnel in proceedings relating to public employment relationships, covering public competitions and selection procedures, career progression and mobility, disciplinary proceedings, managerial liability, incompatibility and ineligibility for appointments. We also support entities in defining organisational models and managing disputes in public employment matters.
Administrative Litigation and Court of Auditors
We assist clients at every level of proceedings, from preliminary risk assessment to the definition of the defence strategy and through to the enforcement of decisions. Our work covers appeals to the TAR and appeals to the Council of State, interim measures and urgent relief, liability proceedings before the Court of Auditors, damages claims against public authorities and the defence of public administrators and executives.
