What does a competition lawyer in Belgium do?
A competition lawyer advises on merger control, cartels, abuse of a dominant position, state aid and investigations by competition authorities. You are likely to need one when a merger may need clearance, you face a competition investigation, or you are concerned about a competitor's or supplier's conduct.
How do I find a good competition lawyer in Belgium?
Check that they are qualified or registered to practise in Belgium, for example with the local bar association or professional body, and that they have handled matters like yours, including any cross-border element. Ask who will do the work, which languages they work in and how they charge before you instruct them. Each competition lawyer listed on this page has a profile with their firm, practice areas and contact details, so you can compare them before getting in touch.
How much does a competition lawyer in Belgium cost?
Fees depend on the firm, the experience of the person advising you and how complex the matter is. Firms commonly charge by the hour, a fixed fee for a defined piece of work, or a combination of the two. Ask for a written estimate and the terms of engagement before any work starts.
Do I need a local competition lawyer in Belgium if I am based abroad?
Matters governed by the law of Belgium, or that involve its courts, registries or authorities, usually need an adviser qualified there. If you already have an adviser at home, they can often work alongside a local competition lawyer in Belgium, which keeps the advice joined up on cross-border matters.
Can I find an English-speaking competition lawyer in Belgium?
Many lawyers and advisers who work with international clients advise in English, but it is worth checking. Ask about working languages when you first get in touch, and whether documents can be provided in English as well as the local language.
