Administrative and Regulatory Matters
Government contracts, concessions and regulated industries give rise to controversies in which the legal discussion runs alongside calculations of tariffs, contract rebalancing, penalties and indemnities.
Context of application
Regulatory agencies, government entities and companies all need to demonstrate, with documentation and a defined method, the economic effect of contractual amendments, regulatory changes or unforeseen events. Technical analysis translates those effects into figures that can be examined and challenged.
When this analysis is needed
- Requests to rebalance government contracts and concessions on economic and financial grounds.
- Sanctioning proceedings in which fines are calculated on revenue or on the advantage obtained.
- Tariff reviews and disputes over regulated remuneration.
- Indemnities arising from the early termination of contracts.
- Technical disputes before regulatory agencies.
Questions typically analyzed
- Economic and financial imbalance and contract rebalancing.
- Quantification of losses and damages.
- Concessions and government contracts.
- Review of tax and regulatory calculations.
- Expert assistance in administrative and judicial expert examinations.

SGEx does not provide legal advice. Its contribution is technical: organizing the economic, financial, accounting and asset-related facts so that lawyers, companies and parties can understand the substantive dimension of the controversy.
