We advise on a wide range of general EU issues, from parallel trade and product standards to sector regulation and administrative law, where our understanding of the procedures of the European institutions and our experience of EU law can give you a significant competitive advantage.

Where necessary, we can help you to ensure that your views are taken into account in the EU legislative process.

For example: 

• We are lead advisors to Northern Ireland Water Service and Scottish Water on regulatory, competition and procurement matters
• we recently advised a UK utility on proposed amendments to the GB Connection and use of System Code (CUSC)
• we advised the European Transmission System Operators association (ETSO), on the creation of ENTSO-E, a new organisation with responsibility for coordination of EU electricity transmission grids, and on EU regulatory issues
• we advise Elia System Operator SA, the Belgian electricity transmission system operator, on a range of regulatory issues.
