    International Briefing March 2026


    Dear Friends and Colleagues,

    welcome to the March issue of ADVANT Beiten's International Briefing.

    To understand what drives business success in Europe and what general counsel expect from in-house teams, external advisers, and European policymakers, ADVANT recently launched a research project to create “ADVANT Special Report: Europe’s opportunity outlook”. We surveyed 800 GCs across France, Germany, Italy, and the US, supported by interviews with senior legal leaders. The findings reveal companies’ views on Europe’s key opportunities and challenges in today’s complex economic and geopolitical climate and offer candid insights into what works well in the European legal and regulatory framework, and where improvement is needed. The results are clear: Europe remains highly attractive for investment, with 87% of US GCs viewing it as a key market for growth. If you or your clients are looking to follow this trend and take advantage of the opportunities Europe offers, ADVANT stands ready as your one‑stop shop for all Europe‑related projects.

    In this issue we will also highlight interesting developments in the European and German legal landscape, invite you to meet us at international events, and tell you about our recent deals.
