Supporting EU institutions and the private sector
Our work for the EU institutions often supports or provides input for the improvement or creation of legislative proposals. In addition, our work for private sector clients may consist of the production of analytical research papers on relevant EU or national legislation and/ or policy impacting their industry, or practical assistance such as drafting terms and conditions, or support concerning data protection issues. For a detailed description about our work areas and projects see Sections “Work areas & Projects” and “News”.
