Europe
The geographic and cultural proximity of European countries fosters commercial and social opportunities throughout the region. The 27 member countries of the European Union are the world’s second–largest economic power and provide an environment which is conducive to innovation and development. However, specialised expertise in legal and tax matters is required to comply with the various regulatory requirements.
We work on complex cases throughout Europe, thanks to multidisciplinary teams made up of specialists from our various offices. Our clients include international financial institutions, investors, private equity and venture capital funds, and companies in all sectors. We assist them in all areas of business law and in dispute resolution.
We have established strong relationships with EU institutions, financial authorities, and professional bodies and associations in Europe. We are often asked to contribute to the drafting of national and European regulations.
Over the last 50 years, we have developed a long-standing and wide-ranging practice in European law, on which the European internal market, its sector-specific regulations, and their relationship with the general rules and principles of Community law have gradually been built.
Our team members are renowned for the quality of their legal advice and their in-depth knowledge of local commercial, cultural and legal considerations, acquired during time spent at some of the market’s leading players.
