Eurolegal is a group of independent, small to medium sized European law firms.  Through member firms, we also have a great number of contact firms outside Europe in both North and South America, Africa and Asia.

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland are countries where our network has own firm representation.  English is the common language of the network.

Our network has at present 16 countries represented, with 22 law firms, 42 offices, and within the network over 650 lawyers, practising in all areas of business and other law. This is a really good geographical coverage. Many of the member firms have worked together for more than twelve years. The network was created to meet the increasingly complex and varied international needs of clients. Eurolegal member firms already provide clients with readily available expert services across Western and some parts of Central Europe and this is sought to be extended into Central and East Europe, with increasing numbers of network to network links across different parts of the world.

We aim at covering regions rather than just countries.  Membership is therefore not limited to one member per country.  However, quality of the member firms is to us much more important than complete coverage of all regions in Europe.  As we are now, we can provide services of high quality to our clients in all European countries; in many countries where we are at present not represented, our members have good and long standing contacts.

The Eurolegal network is non-exclusive, meaning that member firms are free when instructing lawyers in a different country, to instruct law firms other than the Eurolegal member firms. Member firms are also free to be members of other networks.

The annual subscription fee is the same for existing and for new full members; it amounts to Euros 900. 

The network’s main objective is in Business Law rather than in private matters, such as house-buying, divorce, and crime, although these can usually be dealt with.

The strength of our network lies in the quality of the member firms and the close personal contacts we have.  We convene twice a year at a one-weekend conference to discuss network issues, cross-border legal topics of common interest, and to maintain the personal relations we have.  The meetings take place in various countries, usually where our members have their offices. Because of these close contacts, it is possible to obtain reliable foreign legal advice the same day or overnight, which is a great advantage when working for international clients with (potentially) cross border issues.
