Public Law

As a company or citizen, are you bogged down by unclear rules, complex permit procedures or changing government policy? Or have you noticed that the rules are changing while you have just started a project or investment? At TK we help you maintain an overview, mitigate risks and look ahead with confidence.

Environmental and Planning Law

Where the general interest and interests of individual citizens, companies and organisations clash, public law must provide direction. But public law is comprehensive, complex and often sector-specific. Moreover, it is constantly changing. That is why it is important to work with specialists who can understand both the regulations and the context. At TK, we combine legal expertise with a keen eye for political-administrative relations. Our experienced specialists know the risks of every plan or project, but think in terms of solutions - preferably before a problem arises.

Our specialists are easily accessible, switch quickly and provide concrete advice. No reports full of legal considerations, but clear answers and clear recommendations that you can take forward immediately. We like to work together from the start of the process to avoid delays and proceedings afterwards. And of course we closely follow developments. This means we are well-versed in current issues such as energy transition, tackling the shortage of affordable housing and strengthening the human dimension in decision-making and justice.

For who and with who we work

We work for various public authorities, educational and healthcare institutions, housing corporations, contractors and installation companies, investors and private individuals. We also work with and for spatial planning consultancies, architects, valuers, stewards, real estate professionals, tax consultants and subsidy advisers.
