Pragma is an international network of law firms established in January 2001.
It resulted from the aspirations shared by four European law firms from France, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
Having worked together for over ten years, it was decided to set up Pragma to advise individuals and companies in the context of the increasing globalisation of business relations.
Pragma differs from many other law networks having only one law office or one law network per country.
Currently, Pragma has 53 law offices in 23 countries with a turnover of more than 100 million Euros.
Pragma will be celebrating its 10th anniversary in Brussels from 1st to 3rd October 2010.
Around 100 Pragma members and contacts are expected.
During this congress, the President of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) Mario Sepi will introduce the working of this consultative body.
To end on a high note, a dinner show featuring the “Love Beatles” tribute band is planned on Saturday 2nd October 2010 at the Brussels Belgian Comic Strips Centre.
