The Pan-European Organisation of Personal Injury Lawyers

The Pan-European Organisation of Personal Injury Lawyers (PEOPIL) is a not-for-profit organisation established in 1996 and formally recognised in 1998. It was founded by European lawyers to improve and promote judicial cooperation and mutual understanding of the legal and judicial systems across European jurisdictions specifically in the field of personal injury law. PEOPIL aims to facilitate enhanced networking and cooperation among personal injury lawyers throughout Europe to better address cross-border legal issues and harmonise knowledge about personal injury compensation systems in different countries. Its fundamental goals include promoting access to justice for individuals suffering personal injury, advocating for fair compensation, and encouraging higher standards of care and safety to protect consumers. Recognising that personal injury matters often extend beyond national borders, the organisation pledges to support legal professionals, academics, and students by providing resources like publications, conferences, and position papers responding to EU legislative proposals. PEOPIL currently has about 500 members from over 30 jurisdictions worldwide, including lawyers, judges, and academics. It maintains specialised law groups and organises thematic events such as international conferences and seminars to share expertise and recent developments. Supported by the evolving impact of EU legislation on personal injury law, PEOPIL acts as a crucial bridge fostering collaboration and informed judicial practices across Europe by exchanging legal knowledge and promoting consistent judicial cooperation

PEOPIL falls under the advocacy and interest group categories related to legal professional organisations, judicial cooperation networks, and consumer rights in personal injury law. Their lobbying activities target legislation and policy frameworks concerning civil liability, compensation, judicial cooperation across EU member states, and related consumer protections.

Since registration with the EU Transparency Register, PEOPIL has networked with various European legal associations, consumer safety organisations, academic bodies, and EU expert groups related to liability law and new technologies. It actively collaborates with stakeholder coalitions and policy forums focusing on personal injury law reforms and judicial harmonisation in Europe. Their conferences and seminars often bring together international legal experts, academics, and policymakers, strengthening their cross-sector connections

Publicly available EU Transparency Register data does not specify detailed yearly financial expenditures by PEOPIL. Exact lobbying expenditure breakdown by year since their registration is not disclosed in accessible sources and would require consultation of their official EU Transparency Register filings.

PEOPIL interacts primarily with the European Commission, European Parliament, and other EU institutions involved in shaping civil liability and personal injury legislation. They also contribute expertise to expert groups like those on liability and new technologies to influence adaptation of laws concerning new challenges in personal injury litigation within the EU framework

Details of individual meetings with EU officials since registration are recorded in the EU Transparency Register but are not fully compiled in public sources searched.
