Many of our lawyers combine their advisory work with an active court practice and regularly plead cases in Luxembourg, leveraging their familiarity with a matter’s underlying facts and industry-specifics with expert advocacy and finely-tuned knowledge of the courts to assure optimal ‘end-to-end’ client service.

Some also draw upon experience serving as a référendaire (law clerk) in a judge’s chambers.

Collectively, we have acted in over 200 cases before the General Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union, representing clients including multinational companies and international industry associations, EU Member States and EU authorities. We act both for principal parties and for interveners, across a broad range of industries.

Our cases cover an extensive range of issues, with a major competition, trade, customs, sanctions and regulatory focus.

Many raise new areas of EU law or complex questions of regulatory interpretation and have significant precedent value. Their outcomes often have transformative repercussions for global business.

We know how the EU courts work.

We apply expertise, experience and judgement gained over forty years of acting on seminal cases to give you clear guidance on how to conduct your litigation, from using the procedural rules strategically to structuring and pleading arguments to optimum effect.
