EURAVOCAT was founded in 1987 as an European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG).

It consists of a close but non-exclusive network of European law firms and at present comprises 18 member offices, each of which is legally independent.

   
The objectives of EURAVOCAT are:
 
:: 

to facilitate the assistance to clients with international business interests who are looking for foreign legal advice within the European Union and beyond its borders;

:: 

to broaden the professional knowledge of the affiliated lawyers through annual seminars on subjects of comparative law;

::

to develop the professional and personal relationships between the member law firms by the exchange of information and by collaborating in the realm of international business matters.
