Eversheds Launches World’s First Pan European Legal Reference Tool

Eversheds LLP, announced today that it has launched the first comprehensive
web-based guide to critical legal issues in European countries.

Directors Law of Europe is an online tool that provides detailed
information on the governing law in 29 different European countries in a
single systemized source. From Italy to Poland, legal counsel for multi-
national corporations will now have immediate access to legal information
critically important to their company to assist their efforts in corporate
compliance and governance.

"The world has truly become flat," Paul Smith, a partner at Eversheds and
the driving force behind Directors Law of Europe, said. "As a result, it is
now imperative for businesses to be able to navigate a vast labyrinth of
multi-venue, multifaceted law.

"We designed Directors Law of Europe to be a comprehensive and, at the
same time, a user-friendly resource," Mr. Smith added. "It will enable
companies all over the world to do business in Europe more cost-effectively
and with less risk."

Directors Law of Europe covers a full range of legal issues — and is the
only single source of this information anywhere in the world.

"If you serve as general counsel for any multinational corporation, or if
you are U.S. general counsel with operations in Europe, you must have access
to Directors Law of Europe," Thomas L. Sager, DuPont’s Vice President and
Assistant General Counsel said.

"This resource is undeniably important to anyone doing business across
Europe," said Mr. Sager.
