The ‘very available and easy to communicate with’ team at Fieldfisher boasts an all-round practice, acting across legal advisory, EU lobbying, pesticides, and biocides work. The group is adept at handling complex litigation concerning the EU registration and approval of chemicals, agrochemicals and biocides, and is frequently involved in biocide task forces. REACH implementation and compliance are further strengths of the team. The team notably includes Koen Van Maldegem with vast experience in novel and high-profile cases. Maud Grunchard is also integral to the team. Peter Sellar, Gerard McElwee, and Manon Ombredane joined Squire Patton Boggs at the beginning of 2025. Post-publication, Claudio Mereu departed for Bird & Bird in September 2025, and former co-head David Haverbeke left for Baker McKenzie BV/SRL in November 2025.
