1. Supporting the development of the Three Seas Initiative in each member country.  There will be a focus on ensuring both the Initiative and the member governments, institutions, and investors fully appreciate the need for top quality legal advice when considering investments pursuant to the Initiative.

2. Raising awareness amongst the client community of the Three Seas Initiative and, as projects emerge, the legal environment surrounding, and legal support available for, investments pursuant to the Three Seas Initiative.

3. Ensuring clients have access to the best legal advice if they are considering investments in any of the member countries and which may form part of the Three Seas Initiative.
