Maybe these markets are of interest to you?
Spain
In Spain, we act from two offices: one in Madrid (2001) and one in Barcelona (2024). Sharing the same market, we believe in the power of synergy and thus regularly put our heads together to maximise our effectiveness.
European Union
While we work in the same building as our Belgian colleagues, we specialise in EU topics. This makes our Brussels office the ideal hub for collaboration. We pride ourselves in having a professional yet people-oriented approach, ensuring that we get the work done while valuing personal connections. As a result, there will always be room for a coffee catchup in between strategy sessions.
Belgium
With our office located in Brussels, we find ourselves at the crossroads of politics. Clients can turn to us for Belgian policy matters, for which we can also engage with the European Parliament and neighbouring bodies.
