International & Cross-Border Capabilities - Belgium
What the team is known for
Cleary Gottlieb's team in Brussels is well embedded in the market and plays a key part of the law firm's wider European strength. Legal practitioners in Belgium work closely with colleagues in Paris on cross-border finance matters, and banking and finance clients benefit from the law firm's integrated and coordinated service with French colleagues. Cleary's legal team is well versed in acting on behalf of Belgian financing and corporate aspects of cross-border transactions and it is able to lead multi-jurisdictional deals, making use of the law firm's expansive international network.
In Belgium, Cleary particularly has a market-leading corporate M&A practice, which frequently works on complex and high-end international mandates. Equally, it hosts an outstanding competition team in Belgium, with an edge on EU and global merger control matters. Another feature of the law firm's international capabilities is in banking and finance, where it is recognised for its adeptness in debt capital markets.
