Several of our lawyers are acknowledged experts in European Union law. Their tasks range from general institutional issues via internal market law to special matters of secondary legislation of the European Union.
In the field of international public law we mainly focus on matters concerning fundamental rights (including representation before the European Court of Human Rights) and the domestic impact of international public law (e. g. enforceability of international humanitarian law).
We regularly represent both the State sector (in particularly the German federal government) and private- and public-sector entities before the EU courts. Significant cases handled by the firm have been in the realms of emissions trading, customs and foreign trade law and waste management law, in addition to State aid law. For example, we are currently handling proceedings before the European Court of Justice on EU State aid, on pharmaceutical law, on the scope of the EU fundamental freedoms and on group actions undertaken by associations in the realm of environmental law.
