In 1999, Crowell & Moring extended its capabilities into Europe by opening its Brussels office. Today, the Brussels office has grown into a strong domestic and European practice that brings together some 30 lawyers operating across a number of practice areas and jurisdictions.

In our Brussels office, we offer pragmatic, commercial solutions to the challenges facing a range of clients, from local SMEs to large multinational corporations. Together with our colleagues in the U.S. and London, we provide a one-stop shop for our international clients. We can also call on a network of local counsel across Europe to ensure a comprehensive service to clients navigating Europe’s multiple jurisdictions and regulatory requirements.
