Brussels is located in the centre of the European Union where the main European Institutions and the head office of many international companies are located. The Brussels office of Spencer West serves both domestic and international clients in addressing the European Union’s and the Belgian complex legal environment for any undertaking doing business in the heart of Europe.

EU, competition and international trade law is of critical importance to many organisations carrying on business in the EU. It affects the contracts between suppliers, their supply chains and their customers; the transactions between parties in the same industry, including joint-ventures, alliances and mergers; in the procurement of contracts; and in consumer protection, particularly in the more heavily regulated industries. Businesses need wise counsel who are highly experienced in the legal and regulatory framework and are able to navigate the laws in a way that enables your business to fulfil its strategic objectives.

Our lawyers have many years’ experience and in-depth knowledge of EU law, competition law, mergers and acquisitions, commercial law matters and regulatory compliance strategies, as well as conflict and contract negotiations and mediation, from having acted not only in private practice, but also at the European Commission and as General Counsel of major EU based regulated companies in the ICT/telecoms sectors. Their experience enables us to offer you tailor-made, practical solutions and to assist you with their implementation. When required our lawyers assist you with your negotiations and/or mediation procedures and represent you before the European and national courts, as well as EU and national regulatory authorities and international bodies.
