Representation of Interests
Acting upstream of legal and technical decisions,
alongside public and private stakeholders,
within national and international forums.
In a constantly evolving international environment, the legal and technical standards applicable to space and maritime activities are gaining increasing relevance - particularly in matters of safety, security, and working conditions. In Geneva, home to numerous international organizations, specialized NGOs, and permanent missions, interest representation forms part of an institutional and strategic dialogue. The LOONIS QUÉLEN Law Office offers support to companies, institutions, and professional associations in their dealings with the relevant international bodies, in full compliance with applicable professional ethics rules.
Mission
Interest representation aims to support companies, institutions, and professional associations in their relations with international public stakeholders.
In Geneva, this involves advocating positions before international organizations, NGOs, and permanent missions, in full compliance with legal and ethical standards.
The objective is to promote technical, economic, or regulatory interests in a transparent manner, in connection with evolving legal frameworks affecting the space and maritime sectors - particularly in matters of safety, security, and working conditions.
Values
The activity of interest representation is strictly governed by the ethical principles of the legal profession: independence, transparency, loyalty, and confidentiality.
All interventions are conducted in compliance with applicable regulations, free of any conflict of interest, and with full respect for the integrity of interactions with the relevant institutions.
In Geneva, this commitment is essential to maintaining trust in multilateral processes. It is about advocating legitimate positions with transparency, while ensuring the legal security of the Office’s Clients and partners in the face of international requirements.
Aeras of Focus
Interest representation covers a wide range of topics related to maritime and space activities: international legislative or regulatory initiatives, technical standards (WHO, ITU, ILO, WTO, etc.), recognition of professional benchmarks, and the integration of sector-specific requirements into public policy.
It also includes issues related to operational safety, risk management, facility security, and the protection of personnel in complex environments - all within a framework of constructive participation in institutional work
Methods & Tools
This activity is based on a structured methodology: drafting memoranda or analytical notes, preparing technical or legal arguments, participating in public consultations or intergovernmental meetings, and organizing institutional meetings or technical events.
The intervention may also include support for collective initiatives led by stakeholder networks.
Each action is guided by a rigorous approach grounded in professional ethics, confidentiality, and compliance with national and international rules applicable to lawyers.
