What we say about the firm's legal practice in Belgium

Competition

Within Competition,

Squire Sanders LLP solid standing in state aid advice was shaken somewhat by the loss of former senior associate Eliza Petritsi, who joined Holman Fenwick Willan LLP’s London team as partner in February 2011. However, Brian Hartnett recently advised International Launch Services on a prominent Article 106 case concerning the satellite and aerospace sectors. With the help of Oliver Geiss, Hartnett also advised AU Optronics, LAN and Tecumseh during major cartel investigations.

In 2011, VVGB Advocaten/Avocats lost the well-respected Folkert Graafsma to Holman Fenwick Willan LLP, but the firm retains a strong position in the market, primarily thanks to the reputations of Marco Bronckers and Edwin Vermulst. Bronckers is well known for his international trade practice and has argued before WTO panels and the WTO Appellate Body, and Vermulst is a trade defence expert. Work highlights included representing the Chinese government in the headline Footwear dispute and WWAN Modem anti-subsidary litigation.

Business interruption insurance: importance of understanding cover

Business interruption insurance is often a key component of a company’s business continuity plan. The insurance is designed to compensate an insured for the financial effect of the interruption or interference to that business as a result of physical damage to an insured property or other key external events, such as damage at a supplier’s or customer’s premises. The intention is to restore the business to the same financial position as if the loss had not occurred, subject always to the terms and conditions of the policy.
