Brussels

The Brussels office of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and affiliates opened in 1990 and advises clients on European Union (EU) law. Our attorneys handle matters involving EU and other non-U.S. antitrust and merger control laws, as well as a wide range of other EU competition, liberalization and regulatory issues.

Several of our resident attorneys are qualified to practice Belgian law and are members of the Brussels bar, and our office includes nationals admitted to practice in various member states within the EU.

Skadden is one of the most successful American law firms to have established a combined U.S. and European capability in Europe, developing local practices across key European jurisdictions. Skadden’s European practice extends to seven offices in all major financial centres, operating as an integrated practice group without office or jurisdictional boundaries. This approach is a critical part of our competitive advantage in Europe. In recognition of our commitment to clients, Skadden was voted “Client Service Firm of the Year” by Chambers Global 2007, the last time the award — one of Chambers’ top honors — was given.

Skadden’s Brussels office was recognized as being one of the top firms in the area of European Union and International Competition by Chambers Europe 2011 and The Legal 500 2011. According to Chambers, “Market sources highlight the team’s excellent relationship with the firm’s U.S. offices, which is seen as a great asset for clients.”
