Public and private sector organisations turn to Beccar Varela for industry-specific expertise on public law matters affecting the transportation, banking, agribusiness, life sciences, utilities, natural resources, construction, e-commerce and telecommunications sectors. The practice provides guidance on public regulatory frameworks at the federal, provincial and municipal levels, and assists clients with adaptation to evolving regulations. Public procurement, tenders, bid processes, public-private partnerships (PPPs), zoning and regulatory work are also handled, with contentious public law litigation matters (including administrative and judicial review procedures, injunctions, class actions and appellate reviews) another area of specialist expertise. The practice is co-led by vastly experienced public law practitioner Oscar Valdez, who handles complex public procurement, infrastructure concessions and PPP work; and Juan Antonio Stupenengo, who focuses on constitutional, administrative and regulatory law. A strong roster of associate talent includes seniors Juan Pablo Perrino (administrative and regulatory law) and Santiago Barbarán (constitutional, administrative, and regulatory law).
