Administrative and Public Contracts

The performance of companies in contracts with the government is proving increasingly challenging. The expansion of control mechanisms, as well as the growing demand for administrative efficiency, made contracts more complex and detailed, therefore, it is essential to have a thorough knowledge about the legal provisions that govern contracts signed with the Public Administration.
