Quinz
Household names across the gamut of industry sectors continue to instruct Quinz, relying on the firm’s proficiency in both handling contentious antitrust mandates and advising on commercial strategies in the competition field. Experienced litigator Wim De Meester was promoted to partner in January 2023, shoring up the team’s capabilities in that space. The arrival of counsel Nathalie Smuha from Jones Day in November 2022 further developed the group’s abilities around the regulation of digital technology, already an area of considerable strength.
