The European Law Group (ELG) is a network of European law firms established in 1983. As of January 2011, ELG had members in 12 countries.
ELG aims to develop close working associations throughout Europe and to utilise its international connections to ensure that cross border transactions are managed seamlessly. Another goal is to ensure that any client requiring advice in any other member country, can receive it by swift and simultaneous referral.
The focus for ELG has been to assist clients in their increasing demands for cross border legal services in Europe whether this is as part of a cross border merger or acquisition or simply wishing to know more about the legal framework existing in a particular country.
As a non exclusive association of law firms practising in Western Europe, particularly the countries of the European Union, ELG claims to be committed to provide its clients with legal advisers who understand their needs and can deliver the appropriate advice within their timescale and budget.
The ELG legal network consists of 12 civil, corporate and commercial law firms throughout Europe. The member law firms are situated in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, Israel, Hungary and Portugal.
