Our Europe practice is closely analyzing the implications of the recent European Union Parliament elections and concurrent elections in EU member-states.

To find out more and stay ahead on electoral projections, please get in touch with Senior Managing Director Jérémie Gallon and Managing Partner Ambassador Richard Burt, or contact us at the McLarty Associates page.
