EU funding

EU and international law

The rules governing EU funding can be complex – for both national authorities managing EU grants and for businesses or research institutions applying for or receiving EU funding. We provide legal advice on how to apply for and manage EU funding, ensure compliance with funding conditions, structure contracts with project partners, and interpret the relevant EU regulations, based on many years of experience working with the EU institutions and legal framework.

Legal advice on EU funding from application to reporting

Applying for EU funding is a complex process. You may be familiar with the relevant EU funds and application deadlines, but what documentation is required, and how are your project partners already legally committed at the application stage?

EU funding comes with a set of specific conditions that must be respected throughout the entire project. What happens if doubts arise along the way as to whether these conditions are still being fulfilled? And how should you handle any changes in the project, both in relation to the EU and your project partners?

We advise on how to best prevent legal risks throughout the entire funding process and ensure that both you and your project partners are properly committed and fully aware of your respective liabilities.

Controls, audits and disputes in relation to EU funding

It is a fundamental funding condition that any project may be subject to audit by the European Court of Auditors or the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF). We help prepare your organisation and your project partners for audits and provide guidance on how to ensure proper documentation and compliance throughout the project lifecycle. If a project partner fails to deliver as agreed or lacks adequate documentation, we assist in swiftly clarifying the situation.
