European Investment Bank (EIB)

The European Investment Bank is the lending arm of the European Union, headquartered at 98-100 Boulevard Konrad Adenauer on the Kirchberg plateau in Luxembourg City — the district that houses the EU's major institutions including the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the European Court of Auditors. As the world's largest multilateral development bank by assets, the EIB employs thousands of professionals and maintains a substantial Legal Directorate responsible for drafting and negotiating project-related legal documentation, providing legal advice on the Bank's lending and borrowing activities, advising on EU institutional law and governance matters, and defending the Bank's interests in litigation before the CJEU and national courts. Legal professionals at the EIB work across sovereign lending, infrastructure project finance, climate action instruments, and InvestEU programme implementation under EU financial regulation frameworks.
