Our services and business model are centered around providing (cross-border) research and advice related to law and policy, working with both the EU institutions and for the private sector.
Our EU projects include evaluation studies, impact assessments, and transposition and conformity assessments, among others. For further insights into our work for the public sector see below and Section “Work areas and Projects”.
Our services for the private sector involve undertaking tailored legal research and policy analysis for private sector clients regarding various research topics pertaining to EU or Member State law and policy. We assist private sector clients with navigating EU and national legislation, understanding compliance requirements and addressing policy challenges affecting their industry. Our services range from producing research papers on EU or national legislation/policy matters in different sectors (for example, see our latest research paper for Google), to providing support on data protection or other regulatory issues, and assisting with drafting of documents, such as contracts and terms and conditions.
Our work often comprises the following tasks:
