Trial Attorney Jeff Wertz became a member of the European Circuit in 2025. Between the combination of Mr. Wertz belonging to the Bars of the U.S. Court of International Trade and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and having been called to the Bar of England and Wales through the Inner Temple, we offer services in those US-based courts for international clientele and we offer an alternative to the New York and Washington D.C. based firms. FULL DISCLAIMER: Mr. Wertz is not licensed to practice law currently in any European jurisdiction.

The European Circuit is an association of legal professionals across a broad definition of Europe, including the EU and all Council of Europe Member States. It began life as a “Circuit” – a group of practitioners in a geographical area — of the Bar of England and Wales, but it has grown to welcome lawyers from a wide range of European jurisdictions. Members generally offer services in the areas of dispute resolution and advocacy and share a common interest in European legal issues and cross-border practice. The Circuit has active members in at least a dozen European countries and has cordial relations with the bar associations of many other jurisdictions.

The Circuit provides a forum for its members to: Seek solutions to common problems in cross-border practice; Exchange knowledge and experience of European legal issues and practical aspects of cross-border work; Offer a point of liaison with the local bar in jurisdictions where members wish to operate in collaboration with other practitioners; and Promote more widely the services of barristers and other specialist advocates and dispute-resolution practitioners to the wider European legal profession and other potential clients.
