Now in its eighth year, Europe's foremost monthly legal journal is for and about the business of law and decision-makers who influence and shape the profession. The journal provides the international legal profession with an important platform to voice opinion on a broad range of issues affecting the expansion and integration of the European single market and its relationship with global markets.
Each month lawyers in business and policy analyse topical issues affecting the cross-border practice of law in Europe and comment on the growing complexity of regulations on both sides of the Atlantic. Past contributors have included the EC Commissioner for Justice, the EC Commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection, the General Counsel of the European Central Bank, the European Ombudsman, and the Legal Director of the Council of Europe.
European Lawyer offers coverage of issues affected by the continued integration of the European single market, written by leading legal experts, policy makers and journalists.
Each issue profiles a particular country or strategic region and analyses trends in the profession based on interviews with leading lawyers and in-house counsel.
In partnership with Europe's organisation of in-house counsel, the European Company Lawyers' Association (ECLA), the journal is now distributed to nearly 2000 in-house counsel throughout the European Union. In September 2003, the journal began a new section, incorporating the ECLA newsletter written by and for colleagues in banks, corporations and institutions.
This publication will serve both in-house counsel and lawyers in private practice. The Handbook will measure 190mm x 95mm, will be concise, and designed to be easily portable. Its layout and features will encourage users to refer to the Handbook frequently, and also take it on business trips.
The Handbook of Independent Law Firms will be the only publication designed for the travelling lawyer, small enough and light enough to be easily carried.
The Handbook is also the only publication to concentrate on factual information, (eg practice details, deal information), eschewing ranking and research for factual information provided by the firms themselves.
Key contents of the Handbook will include:
