Entrepreneurs, family offices and HNW investors face a shifting European mobility landscape. Portugal is paralysed by delays and legal reforms, France and Italy are raising tax thresholds and regulatory friction, while Malta offers structured, legally sound alternatives. With its discretionary naturalisation route by merit and true permanent residence, Malta emerges as a credible base in the EU for long-term mobility, lifestyle and succession planning.

We are delighted to present the October edition of our European Employment Insights newsletter. In this issue, Andersen’s team of professionals from across Europe offers a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in employment law, regulations, case law, and collective agreements covering more than 19 countries.

The Civil Procedure Manual | Litigation & Arbitration by Andersen’s European Litigation & Arbitration team offers an in-depth overview of civil procedural rules and litigation practices across Europe. Designed as a practical reference for legal professionals and businesses, it covers key aspects such as case initiation, evidence and digital tools, interim measures, appeals, and enforcement of judgments. By highlighting both the commonalities and distinctions among European jurisdictions, the manual helps practitioners navigate cross-border disputes with enhanced clarity, predictability, and confidence.
