The historical focus of our Brussels practice is EU law, with an emphasis on competition matters, regulatory work, agriculture and food law, internal market, trade law and litigation. We regularly represent clients before national authorities, the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Civil Service Tribunal, the Court of First Instance and the European Court of Justice.
We have particular experience in matters involving EU and national merger control regulation and have ongoing extended lobbying contact with the various European institutions, enabling clients to understand fully how any changes in the law affect their business. Obtaining up-to-date, accurate information is a key requirement for all areas of EU legislation and the office provides clients with an early warning signal on all important EU developments.
Our specialist lawyers advise clients on all aspects of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Food sector, including agribusiness, agrochemicals, fishing and marine farming, food distribution and labelling, inspection procedures and environmental issues.
Our Brussels office is frequently awarded the management of both short and long term projects within the framework of the development cooperation programme financed by multilateral funds or co-financed by the European Commission and third countries. In particular, we have developed experience of projects aimed at reforming justice and improving respect for human rights. The Brussels practice has also participated in projects with a commercial or economic component, dealing with aspects of customs law, trade law and competition law.
