Christian Roth, founder of rothpartners, is Honorary President and founding member of the European Lawyers’ Union (U.A.E), a group of prominent legal practitioners established in 1986. The main missions of this association are promoting the professional practice of Community law and of the law derived from the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, as well as the development of contacts both between European lawyers and with the European institutions.

In over three decades, the U.A.E. has organized hundreds of events bringing together practitioners, academics and researchers, representatives of national and European institutions, as well as members of the business community, to discuss current issues.

The most important works and major conferences of the UAE are published and the Association intervenes on issues of general interest relating to the practice and application of law in Europe.
