Economic regulation

UGGC Avocats regularly advises public and private operators in sectors that are heavily regulated by public authorities (transport, telecoms, energy, healthcare, gaming, defense, etc.) or confronted with inappropriate standards.

Our practices

In terms of regulation

The firm’s approach is based not only on in-depth knowledge of sector-specific regulations and the decision-making practices of regulatory authorities, but also on in-depth technical knowledge of the economic activities concerned. As economic regulation is largely based on operational and/or financial analysis by the regulatory authorities, this approach enables the firm to offer its clients comprehensive assistance in developing their businesses and securing the legal aspects of their projects.

Economic regulation

UGGC Avocats’ practice is particularly well recognized in economic litigation, whether before sectoral regulatory authorities (Autorité de Régulation des Transports, Autorité Nationale des Jeux, Commission de Régulation de l’Energie, etc.), national courts or European bodies.

The team regularly assists its customers in their institutional relations and public affairs, in order to provoke or support regulatory changes, particularly in the transport, gaming, energy, agri-food and healthcare sectors…

Real support

This support may precede the adoption of the standard (drafting of legal arguments or amendments, observations before the Constitutional Council) or take the form of a direct challenge before national courts (Conseil d’Etat in particular) or European bodies (complaint before the Commission or Court of Justice of the European Union in the case of a preliminary reference in particular).
