Welcome

Welcome to European Law Firm - a sophisticated and cohesive network of 29 commercially orientated law firms committed to offering outstanding, yet cost effective legal services across Europe and beyond.

The network was established in 1989 to meet increasing demand for cross-border legal advice and was the first legal network to register in Brussels as an European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG).

With the globalisation of business and the increasing influence of EU law on all commercial activities, many businesses today require expert legal guidance on a pan-European or international level.

For legal advice you can trust, choose European Law Firm.

Contact Sarah Green at the European Law Firm Central Office for more information.
