The lives of the European citizens are being increasingly more influenced by the decisions made by the European institutions within the framework of the various founding treaties. These decisions are adopted using the secondary legislation, formed of regulations with direct application and directives that must be transposed by the Member States.
At our firm we offer advice on the interpretation and implementation of the European laws, and on European policies. We can also defend the interests of our clients before the EU institutions, including the European courts.
