Career

Lode is a partner based in our Brussels office. Lode adds value for clients through his expertise and practical insight in several areas including EU State aid law, EU regulation and related EU court litigation, and international trade law. In these areas he works with commercial and sovereign clients on litigious as well as transactional matters. Clients enthuse that "the quality and detail of his advice is very impressive," and that "he is good at putting our case into a wider context" (Chambers Europe 2021). Lode has significant experience on EU law and on State aid law and EU regulatory matters. In recent years he has been involved in numerous Phase II in-depth State aid investigations before the European Commission and in significant appeals of State aid decisions and related litigation in the EU and national courts. Lode advises governments granting aid, aid beneficiaries and third parties bringing complaints in relation to competitors receiving State aid.
