Order placement. Appeal of administrative and court decisions.

Auctions, tenders, requests for proposals and other forms of procurement are processes that require competent interaction with state structures, and hence, qualified legal assistance.

Every year, issues related to the placement of orders and participation in procurement procedures are becoming increasingly important, as the number of subjects of procurement procedures is constantly growing both among customers and participants. At the same time, the implementation of the legal mechanism of procurement often causes difficulties for even for experienced practicing lawyers.
