    Goals / Remit

    P&A's attorneys and experts combine technical/legal expertise with an acute understanding of the complex political context in which Community Law is formulated, applied, and interpreted. Hence, P&A offers EU and other international companies an insight into European Union related affairs with the view to anticipating problems, capitalising on opportunities in a proactive manner and effectively tackling them before the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council, otherwise before the European Ombudsman or ultimately the General Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union.

    Other financial info

    No purely lobbying activity is carried out by P&A, the main activity and focus being legal advice and litigation. Not strictly speaking legal action (i.e. advocacy) is very limited and taken only in support and in relation to the relevant legal activity (complaints or legal advice). Hence, it is very difficult to define a budget allocated to policy activities that accompany the legal action.
