Administrative and constitutional law

Administrative law determines the organisation and execution activity of the administrative authorities and the legal relations between the state and individual citizens. Administrative law is an essential part of public law.
The area of responsibilities of the administrative authorities, in Liechtenstein these are primarily the state government and the municipal authorities, is very extensive. Important subject areas from administrative law are building law, law governing the awarding of public contracts, road traffic law and similar legal fields.

We will advise and support you in proceedings before Liechtenstein and foreign administrative authorities and prepare appeals and legal remedies for you. We will represent you in proceedings before the courts of justice under public law. In Liechtenstein these are above all the State Constitutional Court [Staatsgerichtshof] and the Supreme Administrative Court [Verwaltungsgerichtshof].

The State Constitutional Court makes decisions about the infringement of the rights of citizens which are guaranteed by the constitution. It also examines the compliance of laws and government regulations with the constitution.

The Supreme Administrative Court is the highest administrative appellate instance in Liechtenstein. It decides, apart from special cases, about complaints against all decisions or dispositions of the government.

Our field of activity also comprises proceedings before the EFTA Court of Justice, the European Court of Justice (EuGH) and the European Court of Justice for Human Rights (EGMR).
