Increasing state intervention in the economy, as well as in other sectors, is being replaced by regulatory bodies and the state and local business and concession sectors. In these manifestations of the State, Public Law and, in particular, Administrative Law, play a central role in the daily lives of citizens and companies.
In short, Public Law regulates relations between the State and individuals, as well as relations between different bodies of the State itself.
Several areas of law are covered by this branch, namely: constitutional law, administrative law, criminal law, tax law…
Administrative Law, in turn, is a subarea of Public Law that focuses on the organization and functioning of public administration.
This regulates the administrative activity of the State, establishing standards for the actions of public bodies and entities. Furthermore, it aims to discipline relations between public administration and individuals.
