Administrative lawyer
in Luxembourg
Appeals, permits, residence, Administrative Tribunal
The firm acts in administrative law in Luxembourg to challenge decisions taken by government departments and public authorities: refusals, sanctions, permits, and questions of residence and establishment.
Depending on the situation, the firm brings either an appeal to the authority that took the decision or an appeal to the courts, and represents clients before the administrative courts.
Administrative decisions almost always carry a deadline for challenging them, so the date of notification has to be checked as soon as the file is opened.
Matters
Situations in which
the firm acts
-
Appeal to the deciding authority
An appeal to the authority that made the decision comes before, or runs alongside, an appeal to the courts. It is subject to time limits that need to be handled with care.
-
Refusals
A refusal must give reasons. Reasons that are inadequate or wrong are often the first ground of challenge.
-
Permits and authorisations
Business permits, planning permission, operating licences: the firm acts both at the application stage and in challenging a refusal or a withdrawal.
-
Administrative sanctions
Fines, withdrawals, suspensions and prohibitions imposed by a public authority can be challenged before the administrative courts.
-
Residence
Refusal, withdrawal or non-renewal of a residence permit, or a return decision: these carry short deadlines for challenge, and the date they start running must be established without delay.
-
Establishment
The firm assists individuals and businesses with the formalities of establishing themselves in Luxembourg, and in challenging decisions that stand in the way.
-
Proceedings before the administrative courts
The firm represents clients before the Administrative Tribunal and, where appropriate, before the Administrative Court.
