The Group also addresses related data protection, competition and other business law issues that arise when, for example, drafting and negotiating commercial agreements or setting up and running REACH consortia and Task Forces.
The practice adopts a unique 'product defence' approach to help our clients not only navigate through the complexities of EU legislation and decision-making, but also defend their products against unjustified regulatory restrictions.
The Group has strong litigation experience and is known for challenging EU decisions before the European Courts, as well as ECHA decisions before the Board of Appeal of ECHA. In addition, the EU team is actively involved in advocacy and lobbying efforts on behalf of clients with EU and national authorities.
