Belgium

At the heart of Europe, our Brussels office combines deep European regulatory insight with sophisticated transactional capabilities. We advise global corporates, financial institutions and investors on matters that shape their businesses across Belgium, the EU and international markets. Clients describe us as "a firm of deal makers" (Chambers Europe).

European Union Law

Our multinational EU Law team provides clear, commercially focused advice across the full range of EU law and policymaking. We advise on competition and state aid, international trade, customs and sanctions, as well as environmental, energy, transport and telecommunications law.

We represent clients in European Commission antitrust investigations, complex multijurisdictional merger-control proceedings and litigation before the EU courts. Drawing on our experience at the intersection of law, policy and business, we help clients anticipate regulatory change, manage risk and pursue strategic opportunities in an evolving European landscape.

Transactional Practice

Our Belgian team advises businesses, financial institutions and investors on their most significant domestic and cross-border transactions. We bring practical legal advice, market knowledge and an international perspective to complex matters across the full transaction life cycle.

Our experience includes public and private M&A, private equity, capital markets transactions, IPOs, restructurings, acquisition and debt finance, receivables finance and factoring, securitisation, tax and privatisations. We also advise on complex commercial, financial and regulatory disputes with Belgian, Luxembourg, EU and cross-border dimensions, including domestic and international litigation, arbitration, regulatory investigations and dispute-prevention matters.

Working seamlessly with colleagues across our global network, we help clients execute transactions efficiently, manage contentious risk and achieve their commercial objectives.
