European Union Law

European Union law is increasingly relevant in commercial, labour, consumer, regulatory, data protection, real estate and cross-border relations. The firm advises clients on application of EU law before national bodies and courts and in business relations with a European element.

Legal support may include alignment of business operations with EU acquis, analysis of application of regulations and directives in the national context, market freedoms, cross-border contractual relations, regulatory obligations and protection of clients’ rights. In matters with a European element it is important to connect national law, EU law and relevant practice of European institutions, especially where the European legal framework affects interpretation or application of law in the Republic of Croatia. The firm provides support in preparing legal opinions, contractual documentation and argumentation in proceedings before national bodies and in communication with relevant institutions where necessary.
