The Weil team in Brussels regularly plays a key role in handling our clients’ landmark M&A, antitrust, FSR, and FDI matters before the European Commission, EU Member States’ regulators, and other agencies globally.
The multinational and multilingual team’s stand-out reputation is built on proven excellence in advising clients on multi-jurisdictional, often highly-complex transactions, antitrust investigations, and litigation matters.
The team has unparalleled expertise in European merger control, backed by a track record of successfully navigating some of the most complex cases that have been decided by the European Commission to-date. Weil’s antitrust group is ranked in GCR’s 2024 Global Elite and in the top ten of GCR’s 2024 Global Elite: Mergers “thanks to rapidly growing competition teams in Brussels”.
For example, Brussels office attorneys have been involved in the majority of all cases in which the European Commission approved a transaction with remedies at Phase 1 in 2023. They have also acted for the notifying party in what is the largest merger control matter, by deal value, that the European Commission has cleared with Phase 2 remedies in the past several years.
