Jones Day's office in Brussels is known to coordinate cross-border matters, utilising the firm's expansive international network spanning North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. It has strong teams across disputes, corporate and finance areas, well versed in international work and collaborating with colleagues across its global network. Its capacity to manage complex multi-jurisdictional matters is an attractive proposition, and the team frequently advises on Belgian law aspects for a diverse range of multinational clients.

While the team offers a full-service scope, it is a popular choice for handling competition mandates related to the EU. Brussels-based individuals qualified in different EU member states often assist with merger control or behavioural investigations carried out by national competition regulators in Italy, Germany or Belgium. It also works closely with colleagues across the USA and other jurisdictions to handle M&A matters for US-headquartered companies in the telecoms, pharmaceutical, consumer goods and transportation sectors. The Brussels office also advises on regulatory issues in the life sciences sector, with an emphasis on pan-European work.
