legalgb law firm

The law firm is involved in regular practice ( civil and commercial) , but over time we have obtained better results in lobbying on specific cases rather than managing them before national Courts.

Accordingly , many issues concerning EU laws have been succesfully resolved before Solvit and the EU Commission within a very short period of time , sometimes evenn faster than ordinary Court claims.

We have been focused mostly on professional qualification issues , but we have been active even in matters of transport social security and taxation.

Improvement of legal aid for lawyers in dealing with cross border cases, and smoothing procedures to appear before foreign Courts.
Professional qualfification recognition improvement.
Implementation at national level of notaried freedom of established accordingly to EU Court of Justice jurisprudence.
Taxation issues and proper cross-border notifcation performed by national tax authorities, including the notification of fines.
Social Security field: action to remove barriers in free circulation of liberal professions (e.g. avoiding double payments to more than a pension authority).
