Boccador Editions is a non profit legal publisher

Boccador was the nickname of the Italian architect Domenico da Cortona, due to his red beard. Da Cortona was entrusted with the construction of the Paris Hôtel de Ville, by François I in 1533. This was, during the Renaissance, a period of free movement of culture in Europe.

This cultural free flow also characterized the legal world of the time. As Hein Kôtz said: “It is only over the last 200 years (…) that we started to speak about French, Italian and German law, neglecting the fact that formerly and for several centuries, there had been in Europe a unified law: the jus commune (…) thereby giving European lawyers a unified patrimony of concepts and principles, rendering irrelevant the fact of having studied at the Sorbonne rather than in Heidelberg, Bologna or Coimbra ”.

The firm is in partnership with Boccador Editions, which enables us to proceed to an in-depth study of the main legal questions arising at a Community and international level.
