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.
