European Union Law

EU law shapes how organisations operate, compete and access markets across Europe.

Benoît Keane advises organisations on the application of EU internal market rules, regulatory frameworks and European legislative developments.

He also represents clients in proceedings where EU law intersects with commercial, regulatory and institutional interests.

Overview

The Foundations of the EU Internal Market

The European Union’s internal market is founded on the fundamental freedoms of movement of persons, services, goods and capital.

These principles are developed through a detailed framework of European directives, regulations and case law.

For businesses, organisations and regulated sectors, understanding the application of EU law can be essential to accessing markets and responding to regulatory change.

Benoît advises on the application of EU law to commercial activities and helps organisations understand the legal implications of European regulatory developments.
