Legal for Horizon Europe
Horizon Europe is the current pluriannual (2021-2027) framework programme of the European Commission funding scientific research projects, ranging from fundamental research to go-to-the market industrial projects. The Horizon European overall budget is about 100 billion euros. It follows the H2020 programme that covered the previous funding period (2014-2020).
Horizon Europe legal challenges will be greater than those met in H2020 projects. With the EU Commission’s ambition to have greater market readiness of funded projects, more legal aspects will have to be covered in most Horizon Europe projects. The closer project deliverables are to the market, the greater are legal challenges.
Our law firm BOCHON & FULMINI is a mid-size international business law firm based in Brussels, Belgium, where most of the EU institutions have their seat. We offer our legal services both to public and private clients, national and international.
The “Legal for Horizon Europe” team is headed by Mr. Anthony BOCHON, partner, attorney at the Brussels Bar and associate lecturer at the Université libre de Bruxelles. He and his associates are one of the few law firm’s teams experienced in formerly H2020 projects.
As we are a team of Belgian lawyers also specialised in EU law, we are the best placed to provide legal services to our clients in the context of Horizon Europe projects. While project contracts are governed primarily by EU regulations, Belgian law applies to the remainder and very frequently, all contracts arising from Horizon Europe projects are subject to Belgian law. As lawyers skilled both in EU and Belgian laws, we are the “go to” law firm for all Horizon Europe projects.
We can also rely on our strong network of foreign law firms and business consultants thanks to GLAWBUS, the Global Law and Business Organisation.
