Brussels Practice
Overview
Crowell’s office in Brussels has provided local and multinational clients with the full complement of legal services both in Belgium and Europe as a whole. Dispute resolution is at the core of our practice, and our renowned litigators represent clients before all the Belgian courts as well as before the Court of Justice of the European Union.
Our Brussels office has a strong tradition of serving the local community. Through our pro bono work, we assist and represent those who desperately need help in matters such as immigration, civil law, and domestic violence. For example, several of our lawyers offer their services to the “Legal Helpdesk,” a Brussels Bar initiative, and we also periodically set up a firm weekend “Call-in Clinic,” which offers free first line legal advice.
