EU Law & Competition
The core of the firm. We advise and litigate across the whole field of EU economic law, from tender challenges before the General Court to State aid investigations and antitrust compliance.
EU law is not a subject we add to a Belgian practice; it is the practice. Our founding partner has argued more than 140 cases before the General Court and the Court of Justice, and the firm has shaped the case law on remedies available to unsuccessful tenderers, on the reviewability of decisions taken by EU bodies, and on the market economy operator test in State aid.
We represent clients before the European Commission, the EU agencies, the Belgian Competition Authority and the EU Courts in Luxembourg, and we work alongside in-house teams and national counsel across the Union.
