The Association of Independent European Lawyers is a network of lawyers and smaller law firms located in Europe, its border countries and in strategic locations around the world, who cooperate to provide a pan-European and International legal advice service.
Established in 1991, AIEL comprises highly-regarded English-speaking and multilingual lawyers able to offer a truly cost-effective and experienced alternative to the large international law firms. They are carefully selected by invitation only as leading professionals within their jurisdictions and areas of expertise.
AIEL prides itself on the close working relationships between its members, who have met and collaborated with each other on multiple occasions over decades. Their partnership and combined experience benefit clients whose expanding business and investment interests bring them into contact with the legal systems of countries in Europe and the EU, and also of other jurisdictions worldwide. The network continues to grow to keep pace with both the accession of new EU member states and the demands of increasing globalisation.
