About Our Brussels Office

Established in 2003 and now home to more than 30 professionals, Sidley's Brussels office is a leader in helping companies, industry associations and governments navigate and shape EU rules. Our lawyers apply innovative strategies to help clients achieve their competitive business objectives. Sidley’s strength in the three cornerstones of EU law critical to global business – competition, international trade and EU regulatory law – allows us to craft solutions tailored to our clients’ legal and policy concerns.
