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.
