About

Provided by CERHA HEMPEL

"Priority" is not just a term we use in connection with European Community law. It is, more importantly, what we give our clients in all of their public law matters.

We advise and represent clients before public administrative authorities and courts, as well as the European Court of Justice regarding questions of aviation law, public procurement law and telecommunications law, all of which we have been handling since such sectors were liberalised by the EU.


Our lawyers have achieved an above-average rate of success in such cases.


We also have many years' extensive experience in commercial licensing law, healthcare law, university law, construction law, environmental law, and medical and pharmaceutical law. We are, of course, just as familiar with European Community law as we are with national law.
