Prior to the formation of Taylor Wessing, both Taylor Joynson Garrett and Wessing had offices in Brussels: the Taylor Joynson Garrett office was set up in 1989, and the Wessing office in the early 1990s.
Taylor Wessing is a European law firm based in the UK, Germany and France, with offices in Dubai and Shanghai with strong connections with US law firms.
In light of its European expansion, Taylor Wessing decided to extend its expertise in Brussels and to provide Belgian legal services.
In addition to the EU law and competition practice already in existence, Taylor Wessing can now provide a full advisory service on all aspects of Belgian law.
The combined experience of the Brussels team results in an offering with a proven track record in advising on corporate, private equity, commercial/distribution, corporate, tax, real estate, employment, intellectual property and European and competition law.
Taylor Wessing's Brussels office has a broad range of expertise in the following practice areas:
- Corporate and finance law
- European and Competition law
- Commercial and Distribution law
- Tax law (corporate and individual)
- Real Estate law (including town planning and environment)
- Intellectual Property (patents/trademarks/counterfeiting)
- Employment law (including social security and pensions)
