Praised as ‘pragmatic and in touch with the realities on the ground’, Lacourte Raquin Tatar‘s public law team predominantly acts for private companies, including major multinationals, real estate developers and investors, but its client base also includes public entities and regional authorities. The team is particularly noted for its expertise in urban planning, where Vincent Guinot and Anne-Laure Gauthier (who was promoted to partner in January 2024) are go-to advisors, with a strong record of assisting in the refurbishment of retail and office buildings. In addition, Benoit Neveu frequently handles the negotiation and execution of public procurement and concessions contracts (in addition to related disputes). Xavier de Lesquen is another key name.
