    EU market entry assessment

    Which European obligations actually apply to you?

    Most companies find out late — from a customer's procurement questionnaire, a suspended marketplace listing, or a letter from a regulator. The assessment answers the question before any of those arrive.

    Scope

    What the assessment covers

    • Your activity, the Member States you target and the type of customers you reach
    • Whether you have an establishment in the Union, and what that changes
    • Which of the four appointment regimes are triggered — and, just as usefully, which are not
    • What the available exemptions do and do not cover in your situation
    • The documents you will need to produce
    • A recommended order of work, separating what is urgent from what can wait

    What you receive

    A written scope note in English setting out the analysis, the obligations identified and the recommended next steps. Fixed fee, quoted in writing before we start.

    Audience

    Who it is for

    Founders and general counsel outside the Union preparing a European launch

    Foreign law firms scoping a client’s EU exposure before advising

    Companies that have received a question from a customer, a platform or an authority that they cannot answer

    What it is not

    It is not a compliance programme, and it is not a mandate. It is the analysis that tells you whether you need either.
