Career

Besides dealing with antitrust, merger control, foreign subsidies, FDI (foreign direct investments) and State aid cases, Pierre is a recognised regulatory expert in energy, telecommunications and transport.

He has dependable experience in sectoral regulation: energy (application of network codes, prohibition of market manipulation and insider trading (REMIT)), telecommunications (digital markets act and electronic communications code), transportation (air, automotive and rail), retail and finance (insurance).

Pierre also implements tailor-made compliance programs in relation to these different competition and regulatory issues.

Before being a partner, Pierre was a researcher in applied macroeconomics at the Université Catholique de Louvain (2002-2004), a lawyer in two Magic Circle law firms (2004-2009) and a prosecutor for the Belgian Competition Authority (2009-2013).
