The ASSOCIATION OF EUROPEAN ATTORNEYS / AEA INTERNATIONAL LAWYERS NETWORK was created in January 2004. This year 2024 we celebrate our 20th Anniversary.
It has an European origin but has expanded all over the world. The headquarters are located in BERLIN in Leipziger Platz, a few meters from Potsdamer Platz in the Mosse Palais. The main goal of the AEA is the referrals between members. The idea is to get work from other countries and to give a better service to the clients.
