Regularly appearing before the Belgian Competition Authority and national courts, Van Bael & Bellis fields a specialised team which is well placed to handle merger control cases, abuse of dominance investigations, and distribution issues. The firm is particularly well regarded for its strength in the healthcare and life sciences industries, with practice head Peter L’Ecluse providing key expertise in these fields. Kris Van Hove is the group’s damages litigation specialist, and is instrumental both in handling such mandates locally, and co-ordinating the response across Europe.
