Practice area
EU/EEA Law
The EEA Agreement and secondary European Union legislation have far-reaching effects on Icelandic law. Jonsson & Hall advises companies, public bodies and individuals on the rights and obligations arising from it.
Specialised service and experience
Our advice may cover, among other things, the four freedoms, State aid, public procurement, competition rules, consumer protection and the interplay between Icelandic legislation and acts incorporated into the EEA Agreement.
Jonsson & Hall advises at the preparatory stage of new projects and investments, where a clear assessment of the impact of EEA rules is necessary to reduce risk down the line.
We also handle litigation before the domestic courts where the interpretation of EEA rules is at issue, as well as complaints to the EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA) and advice on cases that have reached the EFTA Court.
Our aim is to create a clear overview of the legal position and to ensure that our advice serves as a practical tool for decision-making, whether in business decisions or legal disputes.
Matters may include
- The four freedoms and the internal market
- State aid and public procurement
- Implementation of EEA acts
- Complaints to the EFTA Surveillance Authority
- Litigation involving EEA law
