Competition/European Law: State Aid - Belgium
Individual Editorial
Hendrik Viaene joined Fieldfisher in January 2026. He showcases his state aid expertise in his work on behalf of beneficiaries either facing new Commission investigations or appealing EC decisions on tax rulings. He is equally well placed to ensure companies remain compliant with state aid measures. He acts for the Belgian state and regions on the notification of state aid measures.
Strengths
In addition to all his professional expertise, he is a pleasant and amiable business partner. He is personable and can get along with internal corporate lawyers and staff, as well as the EC team.
I know that I'm in good hands and that he will give me a very honest and creative answer when needed.
I would recommend Hendrik Viaene to anyone seeking excellent legal advice on competition law matters.
Hendrik Viaene is a high-level lawyer with immense knowledge on the subject.
