McGuireWoods Brussels

McGuireWoods LLP has 900 attorneys in 19 strategically located offices, including London, United Kingdom and Brussels, Belgium. In Brussels, the legal staff consists of approximately 20 people with all attorneys fluent in two or more languages, including English, French, Dutch and German.

Named "2010 Best US Law Firm in Brussels”, McGuireWoods is a traditional business and EU competition law office in Brussels, with specialist expertise in a range of areas. The office and its partners have regularly been “recommended” by the yearbooks Which Lawyer (formerly Global Counsel 3000) and The European Legal 500 for their corporate/commercial, and mergers and acquisitions practices, as well as Who's Who Legal for their public procurement and business law practices.

The Brussels office mainly focuses on mergers and acquisitions, corporate services (including commercial contracts, corporate finance, labour and corporate social responsibility), and litigation & dispute resolution (including in administrative courts). In addition, the office has developed specialist expertise in real estate and real estate finance, mining (with a focus on francophone Africa), aviation (including ground handling), competition, intellectual property (including copyright, trademarks, domain names, patents, design protection, and software law), media and entertainment (including gaming and gambling), information & communications technology (including IT contracts, e-commerce, and data protection), public procurement and sports. The office also serves as a hub for the firm's work in other Western and Eastern European countries, as well as in Africa.

Local Presence With Global Reach

In recent years, McGuireWoods’ Brussels office has increased its visibility and activities on the Belgian and European markets. The firm serves Belgian-owned and foreign-owned Belgian companies, as well as foreign companies active mainly in Belgium, other Western European countries and Africa. Our foreign clients are mainly from Western Europe (mostly France, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, and the U.K.), North America (Canada and the U.S.), Eastern Europe (primarily Bulgaria, Poland and Romania), and Asia (Japan and Kazakhstan).
