On November 7, 2023, Davis Polk celebrated the opening of the Brussels office, which is home to the firm’s European antitrust practice led by partner Jürgen Schindler, special adviser Frances Dethmers and counsel Matthew Yeowart. Davis Polk lawyers from Brussels, London, NY and DC as well as clients, officials, local counsel and colleagues from around the world attended the launch party at Victor Horta Hall in Palais des Beaux-Arts.

The Brussels antitrust team offers clients sophisticated antitrust capabilities with respect to matters under EU law. Davis Polk is recognized as a preeminent firm in antitrust and competition law, including with top-tier rankings from publications such as Global Competition ReviewBenchmark Litigation and Chambers USA. Clients rely on the firm’s deep experience across the full spectrum of antitrust and competition matters.

Chair and managing partner Neil Barr emphasized: “We are very excited to be in Brussels and truly look forward to getting to know all of you in the Brussels community, building your trust, and collaborating with you in the years to come. It is our goal that Davis Polk be viewed here in Brussels as a friend, neighbor and colleague to each of you.”

Our new offices will be located at Rue de la Science 4 in the European quarter of Brussels.
