Clarify the borders between public and private law

For public sector authorities and companies, the border between public and private law is often blurred. While you may have adequate know-how in public law, issues related to private law are often new and unexpected.

The challenges you face

• You are looking into a change of legal form or want to transfer a unit to a private-law company
• You are preparing for close collaboration with a private-law company
• You want to prepare for collaboration with another public sector body by converting structures into private-law structures
