Etude Patrick Goergen figures among the most specialized Luxembourg law firms in European Union law. Our services in EU law include legal monitoring, lobbying and court actions before the European courts.
By legal monitoring, clients receive occasional or systematic information about the evolution of European Union law in the fields which are important for the respective client. The monitoring comprises not only the provision of information, but also an appreciation of the client's legal situation with regard to EU law and its possible evolution in the future, and suggestions for necessary interventions with the EU institutions. Moreover we provide impact assessment of EU legislation on client's activities.
Considering that lobbying within the EU institutions is legitimate, we help clients to have their point of view integrated in the preparation phase of the EU policies. A representation of the clients' interests is also possible in the EU decision making process by intervening with the diverse institutions cooperating in this process.
