1. European Commission Negotiating Team

The Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE) is the representative organisation of more than 1 million European lawyers through its member bars and law societies from 32 full member countries, and 12 further associate and observer countries. The CCBE is an international non-profit-making association incorporated in Belgium. The CCBE is at the forefront of advancing the views of European lawyers and defending the legal principles upon which democracy and the rule of law are based.

The impact of new regulations is a major issue for businesses and in-house lawyers in French companies must tackle upstream the elaboration of policies that could apply tomorrow to their company.

There is however a dichotomy in France between the Public Affairs and the Legal Department and this division is harmful as it restricts in-house lawyers’ participation in the lobbying process. Public affairs is often at the heart of public policy advocacy activity without having the necessary technical competencies of an in-house lawyer when debating a draft law.

ECLA is the umbrella organisation for 17 company lawyer associations in Europe and represents common interests of European company lawyers.

ECLA was created in 1983. It is an international non-profit association governed by Belgian law. Membership is open to national associations only. While individuals are not members of ECLA directly, each company lawyer, who is a member of a national association, can share the benefits ECLA negotiates. These include discounts to conferences, legal education, training, free publications and more.
