European Union Law

At GVA Gómez-Villares & Atencia we work with knowledge of the laws and principles which govern the operation and competences of the European Union, given that in such cases it must be borne in mind that Community law has effect within the legal systems of the member states.

Our clients in this field come from very different sectors: commercial logistics, assembly lines, transport firms, public authorities, and international firms in the commerce, finance, energy, pharmaceutics, sport, telecommunications and food sectors, among others..

In our law firm we have ample experience in cases such as the award and processing of licences and authorisations, appeals against administrative sanctions, expropriations, town planning, and administrative procedures before the European courts. We also advise various public authorities who act at domestic level and who have been involved in matters relating to EU law.

Another noteworthy field in which our lawyers act is international trade, which furthermore represents one of the most active blocks as regards exchanges occurring at an global level. One of the formulations which the European Union advocates is the progressive liberalisation of trade and the elimination of technical and tariff barriers.
