Key Experts

Why Wolf Theiss Brussels

The team advises on matters including antitrust, mergers, foreign direct investment, the Foreign Subsidies Regulation, state aid and competition compliance. Through close collaboration with colleagues across 13 CEE/SEE jurisdictions, the Brussels office connects EU-level advice with the legal and regulatory conditions in local markets.

This regional perspective is relevant to companies from CEE/SEE navigating EU requirements and to international businesses investing in the region. Clients can assess how EU rules apply in the markets that matter to them, with advice informed by local knowledge across the region.

We have grown our Competition and Antitrust Practice Group substantially over the last years; Opening the office in Brussels is a reflection of that.

Our core asset is our geography. We are in the heart of Europe. Opening a new office in its informal capital is a logical step.

They say that your professional heart is where your best relationships are. We’re here in Brussels right at the core of European competition law to celebrate our relationships and act in the best interest of our clients and befriended law firms for whom we deliver a complementary footprint and service.

We live in a time of geopolitical and economic turbulence. This also led to an increased level of scrutiny and decrease in regulatory convergence across our region in the competition law and FDI space. We think this is why this is exactly the right time for our “move” as we are in the prime position to act as a one-stop-shop and hub to facilitate investments in our region by helping our Brussels counterparts to navigate through the local regulatory jungle.
