Lifting the veil of Mystery – What can the Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”) do for you?

The CJEU is the highest authority when it comes to the interpretation of European Union (“EU”) based acts, even if a question arises before a national court of one of the EU’s Member States. As a result, you might need our experienced team of cross European based lawyers to be involved if:

you have companies or branches located in Europe
in the absence of companies or branch located in Europe, your products or services are distributed on the European market
the outcome of your case hinges on the interpretation of EU law
fines have been imposed by the European Commission on your company
if the European Intellectual Property Office rejected your trade mark application

Our guide will help you:

Understand the functioning and objectives of the CJEU
Anticipate procedural steps and potential issues
Gather practical guidance, based on trial experience across our teams

Next steps

Our lawyers would be delighted to share additional insights, with you and your team. The guide is attached for your immediate reference.
