EU LAW
If you are doing or looking to do business in the Baltics (within the European Union), you must be ready to navigate an intricate legal landscape. Your organisation will need to be compliant with numerous directives and regulations from both local and EU bloc-wide regulations. Depending on your niche of operations, this would touch upon multiple aspects of business operations.
We are prepared to provide guidance and support with all things related to compliance (e.g. data protection, corporate governance), regulation, aid, procurement, and much more.
FORT - EU Law Professionals
As EU Law professionals, we at FORT possess the knowledge and expertise required to navigate the intricacies of the European legal landscape.
We pride ourselves on offering tailored, strategic advice to clients on EU law. We help them moderate potential risks and capitalise on opportunities arising from EU law changes. Whether it's ensuring compliance with relevant directives, representing clients in disputes, or providing counsel on cross-border transactions, FORT's legal experts have your back.
Competition, State Aid, Public Procurement - Our Areas of Expertise
FORT specialises in several key areas of EU Law. These include:
- Competition Law. Anti-competitive practices, mergers, and acquisitions in the EU are surrounded by complex rules. Our attorneys will provide strategic advice on compliance, assist with merger notifications, and represent clients in disputes before national competition authorities and courts;
- State Aid. It is a crucial aspect of EU policy, promoting economic growth and supporting businesses through various forms of financial assistance. Our legal professionals assist clients in ensuring compliance with EU regulations and identifying available state support for their businesses;
- Public Procurement. As a significant part of the EU's single market, public procurement requires strict adherence to EU rules and regulations. We help clients participate in tenders and represent them in any disputes.
Leave complex legal matters to professionals. We know what to do even in the most delicate situations. FORT will find creative solutions and will help achieve sustainable gains.
