Law Europe EEIG is a group of 25 law firms, principally located in Europe but with members in the United States, Brazil and India. With more than 600 lawyers, the group is able to offer a full cross border service to clients. Founded on the principle that to ensure reliable representation for clients in a foreign jurisdiction there must be trust and confidence and a close working relationship between law firms. Members of the group meet regularly at conferences hosted by one of the member firms. In addition there is an inter-firm lawyer exchange programme to develop a wider understanding of the different legal systems. Law Europe is committed to the highest standards of professional ethics, and one of its board’s principal functions is the supervision of quality control.

The lawyers in Law Europe members firms contribute to six practice groups established to develop the group’s work in the fields of Mergers and Acquisitions, Commercial Property, Employment, Intellectual Property, Commercial Dispute Resolution and International Tax and Trust. Currently Law Europe is expanding its membership to provide representation not only in every European jurisdiction, but also in major financial centres outside Europe.
