As part of the eclectic mix of work, which also includes shareholder and insolvency litigation, the firm regularly handles high-profile investor-state disputes on behalf of both private and public sector entities, most regularly in the context of enforcing the awards which have been granted. Vincent Wellens heads the team and is often involved in contentious IP and IT disputes, as well as public law-related matters. Antoine Laniez left the firm in June 2024.
