Sustainable mobility

Mobility is at the heart of the various areas of expertise developed by our firm. As such, we are a privileged partner of the major stakeholders in sustainable mobility.

Oyat has built a dedicated team with a wide range of skills, mainly in public law, data law and digital law, to cover all aspects of setting up mobility projects.

Our team regularly assists its clients in conducting procedures for the award and performance of public transport contracts (operation of transport links or management of transport infrastructures) on large-scale operations, particularly in the following areas: rail, road, air, space, river and maritime.

We also intervene in all litigation aspects relating to the award and performance of these contracts before both French and European courts (European Commission, CFI and CJEU). Our team also advises on the opening up of economic sectors to competition, particularly in the rail sector.

Well experienced in the law governing data, public and/or personal, and in the law governing the digital platforms through which mobility tickets are often distributed, our Digital Team lawyers bring their specific expertise to bear on these strategic issues for the development of these projects.

With a thorough understanding of the regulations applicable to these specific contracts, and a thorough knowledge of the players, practices and regulatory authorities in this market, the Oyat team is a real asset for successfully managing mobility services projects.

By pooling the expertise and the collaborative method of our teams, we have structured for the benefit of our clients cross-functional offers that cope with the current and future challenges in the field of mobility.
