Welcome to CCBE | ACTIONS | Committees & Working Groups

Specialist committees and working groups made up of experts appointed by the national delegations discuss and develop policy papers on a wide range of areas affecting the European legal profession.


European Private Law Committee


Responds to proposals emanating from the European institutions in civil and commercial matters in relation to issues regarding in particular connecting factors (such as domicile and nationality), the jurisdiction of the courts, the recognition and enforcement of judgments, choice of law, and contract law. It also follows the developments taking place at an international level, such as The Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH), the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) and the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL).
