EUTOP Brussels SRL Welcomes Two Seasoned Experts
Two renowned figures in European policy and law have joined EUTOP Brussels SRL, a leading European consultancy specializing in policy advisory, including EU affairs and transatlantic relations.

Christian Schaufler, on the other hand, has extensive experience in EU law, particularly in the areas of competition law and state aid. He joined EUTOP Brussels SRL in September 2024, having previously worked as a legal adviser at the European Parliament and a partner at the law firm Hengeler Mueller.
Schaufler's contributions to EU law are significant. He was involved in the drafting of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and is a frequent speaker at conferences and events on EU law and competition policy. Prior to his legal career, Schaufler worked as a research assistant at the Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property, Competition, and Tax Law.
Schaufler's linguistic skills are equally impressive. He is fluent in German, English, French, and Italian, making him a valuable asset in the multilingual environment of Brussels.

In 2009, he moved to the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) and led overseas offices in the Palestinian territories, Brazil, and the UK and Ireland.
