The European Legal Network

The European Legal Network is a neutral, private network of legal professionals facilitated by FSFE. Delegates share knowledge and cooperate to increase the availability of best practice information about Free Software licensing. The network has over 250 participants across 27 countries and 4 continents, and it is the largest legal support structure for Free Software in the world.

The network occasionally produces public documentation to help people explore and understand legal matters. These are discussion documents and the contents do not constitute legal advice or necessarily reflect the opinions of any contributor. You can find out more about these documents on the independent network wiki hosted here.

FSFE has extensive legal contacts in Europe, and can help locate legal experts in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Greece, Germany, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands and the UK. FSFE can also provide introductions to experts in Australia, Canada, China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and the USA.

If you are a legal expert interested in participating in the European Legal Network please contact FSFE. Network delegates have expressed a particular interest in welcoming new experts from countries that recently joined the EU, from the Baltic states, and across Asia.

Some network delegates are explicitly recommended by FSFE.
