EU Law and International Law: Advanced Legal Expertise

Iaconelli Law Firm offers clients the support of a team with extensive experience in both European Union (EU) Law and International Law—two highly complex and constantly evolving fields. Thanks to deep expertise in supranational principles and procedures, the firm provides high-level legal assistance to ensure compliance and protect client interests across jurisdictions.

European Union Law

EU Law is generally divided into:

  • Primary Law: Founding treaties and protocols that serve as the legal foundation of the European Union.
  • Secondary Law: Regulations, directives, and decisions adopted by EU institutions to implement treaty provisions, with either binding or non-binding effect.

Iaconelli Law Firm provides clients with services to:

  • Interpret and apply EU legal provisions in accordance with national laws and ensure proper transposition into domestic legal systems.
  • Offer cross-border legal support in areas such as the free movement of goods, persons, services, and capital; and advise on State aid, liberalization of markets (energy, transport, communications), and institutional procedures.

International Law

International Law governs relationships between sovereign states and international organizations, and includes:

  • Treaties and international conventions: Formal agreements outlining mutual rights and obligations.
  • Customary international law: Long-standing practices accepted as binding legal norms.

Iaconelli Law Firm provides legal advice on:

  • Interpretation and implementation of treaties and conventions, with a focus on the goals and context of the agreements.
  • Sovereignty and jurisdiction in matters such as national borders, territorial disputes, and legal authority.

Interpreting International Conventions

Our legal professionals follow the interpretative rules of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, including:

  • Literal interpretation of legal texts
  • Systematic interpretation in relation to other relevant treaties
  • Teleological interpretation that considers the purpose and objectives of the convention

Comprehensive and Multidisciplinary Assistance

Our firm also provides:

  • Support in conflict of laws, jurisdiction determination, and enforcement of foreign judgments, including cross-border insolvency matters.
  • Advice on competition law: merger control, abuse of dominant position, and restrictive agreements, with representation before the European Commission and national authorities.
  • Close cooperation with Grayston & Company Law Firm in Brussels, allowing client representation before EU institutions (Commission, General Court, Court of Justice), support in infringement procedures, and both formal and informal interactions with EU bodies.

The Strategic Advantage of Brussels

Our direct operations in Brussels allow us to:

  • Engage with the European External Action Service, European Council, and European Commission on complex legal matters
  • Submit requests for rulings and compliance opinions to U.S. authorities through our local network, particularly regarding sanctions
  • Assist businesses in cases of regulatory violations and voluntary disclosure procedures

Thanks to ongoing legal research and cross-border competence, Iaconelli Law Firm is the ideal legal partner for navigating the challenges of EU Law and International Law with strategy and confidence.
