Doughty Street International has unrivalled experience in practicing on the European continent. We have appeared in all the courts and tribunals of the European institutions, and regularly advise clients in relation to the law emanating from Europe. Members of DSI have been appointed as experts in various European programs and commissions, and regularly deliver training on EU law. In addition, members of the team teach EU law in European universities and have published widely on matters of European law.
The courts, tribunals and institutions within the European Union and the Council of Europe are central to litigation and dispute resolutions across the globe. From corporate governance to child abduction, media law to international crime increasingly the European judicial and quasi judicial institutions regulate the international framework. At the same time litigating in the European sphere is becoming more complex and specialist. Doughty Street International has leading expertise in the process of navigating the courts and tribunals of all the European institutions. We are remedies focused and therefore our experience is invaluable in ensuring that our clients get the most effective remedy within the shortest period of time.
Members of the international team regularly advise clients around the world who need to rely on law emanating from Europe in a variety of sectors including governments, business, media and individual rights. We straddle the EU and the Council of Europe effortlessly and are able to offer assistance with litigation before all courts and tribunals. Members of our team can be used to provide penetrating advice for ongoing litigation in courts around the world, as well as managing a case throughout the entire procedure. We have particular expertise before the Strasbourg and Luxembourg Courts where our style of incisive advocacy is very much appreciated.
