AAM Management Information Consulting Ltd (AAM) is leading a consortium implementing the EU-funded project “Support the State Advocate to bring judicial practices in line with EU best practices and human rights standards (including peer-to-peer exchange, trainings and justified study visits)” in Albania.

The project started in April 2024, and will last for 18 months. The specific objectives are:

1. Outcome 1: Support to elaborate/develop a five-year Strategic Plan for State Advocate’s Office by defining specific objectives which will guide the State Advocate’s Office operations in its quest for effective and efficient provision of legal counselling, legal assistance and representation of the Albanian state before national and international courts and/or other legal proceedings to which the state is a party.
2. Outcome 2: Support to improve and strengthen the institutional capacities of the State Advocate’s Office through provision of continuous training/ capacity building activities with special focus on the case law established and best practices of European Union member states, with regard to the outline of proceedings before foreign, international and arbitration courts.

Currently, our project team is looking for Senior and Junior Non-Key Expert (NKE) candidates who would possibly be interested in contributing to the subject project. This would essentially mean short-term missions to Tirana, Albania, given that the project requires on-site presence.

We welcome CV submissions to anna.salomvari@aam.hu, preferably in the EU format, from experts experienced in one or more of the followings areas:

• EU human rights and fundamental freedoms protection and promotion.
• European Judicial Practices with a strong focus on the European Court System, the ECHR and International Arbitration System.

• Developing, coordinating and conducting capacity building activities, preparation / revision of legal documents and training programs.
• Drawing up training and development plans for lawyers working in the public sector or state advocates working for the State Attorney Office.
• Knowledge of the Albanian legal framework is considered an asset.
