Click on the button below for “Litigation Book: A Legal Guide for Foreign Lawyers”:

The overall purpose is to provide valuable information and tips to foreign practitioners. Whether you are currently engaged in a litigation or contemplating this option, this guide will help foreign practitioners to understand better how such litigation will take place. To the extent possible, the authors have tried to make it comprehensible for any foreign lawyer, regardless his or her country of origin.  The reader will hopefully obtain useful insights on the basics and some more detailed analysis of the subjects addressed.  As far as possible, the authors have included case law from the European Court of Justice.  As a guide, it obviously cannot deal in great depth with all subjects, nor can it cover every area encompassed by this broad field of law. If you need to organise a specific support or representation for your client, feel free to contact our President, or any of our members.
