Thanks to our fully operative Brussels office, we have a privileged source of information, a research "think tank" that continuously provides alerts and updates on EU law to all offices of the Firm as well as to clients. With a view to sharing its value we feed two blogs almost daily:
- "transportwatch.eu", dedicated to businesses in the transport and logistics sectors and
- "dejalexonbrexit.eu", on the Brexit saga.
