Salans Announces New Office in Brussels

International law firm Salans will open a new office in Brussels, Belgium, beginning of March 2010. The opening in Brussels will be Salans’ 22nd office and will offer trade, customs, antitrust, regulatory advice.

Salans’ global footprint ensures that the new Brussels office will be a compelling attraction to both Salans’ and the new team’s clients, given the strategic importance of a Brussels presence to Salans’ global competition, EU regulatory and trade practice.

Salans’ Global Managing Partner, Dariusz Oleszczuk, comments, “Our new team in Brussels fulfils the firm’s recognised need to have a highly-regarded EU competition and trade practice in Brussels which meets our clients’ needs from both inside and outside the EU.

The Brussels team’s experience in the EU, Russia and China in the areas of international trade and competition, and its strong contact with major corporates, governments and government agencies, provide the perfect fit for Salans in terms of its existing capabilities with its Global Competition Group, its global reach across both developed and emerging markets, and its priorities for future development.”

Salans’ Global Competition Law Group has emerged as a result of the strong developments in France, Germany, the UK, Poland, Romania and the Czech Republic. Salans now has 186 partners as part of 750 lawyers worldwide, globally operating from 22 offices across 17 countries.
