Guiding public sector entities on high-stakes issues
For the past four decades, governments and international institutions around the world have relied on VBB for legal advice on critical projects, in many cases raising innovative issues of law.

On mandates ranging from public-private procurement projects, improving market access for key domestic products and notifying EU investments under the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation, to support on major EU anti-subsidy cases, multilateral and bilateral negotiations and high-stakes WTO and FTA dispute management, we have a track record of delivering high quality commercially astute advice and building strong collaborative working relationships.

Our longstanding place at the heart of the European Union gives us insights into law and policy developments and how they are likely to be interpreted and applied at both EU and Member State level.

We know the legal and regulatory framework: how institutions function and the priorities of regulators.

Clients come to us because we understand their objectives and know how to get things done.

We also understand the importance of adding value and finding cost-effective, timely and pragmatic solutions to the legal and strategic issues faced by public sector entities.

We are well versed in navigating politically sensitive disputes and adapt our advocacy style to accommodate the diplomatic context of the matters we handle.

We know how to manage even the most complex international trade litigation, as well as how to leverage proceedings to obtain the best result, including through negotiated solutions.
