K&L Gates GP
K&L Gates GP‘s Brussels team maintains close relationships with the firm’s international offices, which it routinely leverages to act for commercial clients in EU anti-dumping investigations and in trade measure reviews. The team also regularly advises on the FDI aspects of global M&A and advises a growing number of clients on EU sanctions compliance. Petr Bartoš frequently handles FDI and export control matters. Alessandro Di Mario left the team in September 2022, and former practice head Philip Torbøl left the firm in 2024, shortly before publication.
