Global Counsel in Brussels provides advice and strategic support to businesses navigating political, policy and regulatory developments in the EU institutions and EU member states.
Our team of advisers possess extensive experience and understanding of EU policymaking, enabling us to interpret and anticipate the impact of policy change and assist clients in developing effective plans for engaging with and adapting to EU policy change.
We provide comprehensive advice on the full spectrum of EU policymaking and regulation, ranging from the core EU domestic agenda to quasi-judicial procedures such as competition and trade defence cases, as well as trade negotiations with non-EU countries.
With decades of experience working closely with the European Commission, European Parliament, and EU council member states, our advisers in Brussels bring invaluable experience to clients.

Global in footprint, local in approach
Advising our clients on how the EU makes policy is a core strength of our local approach. We bring together a team of advisers who regularly draw on their experience from EU institutions, regulatory bodies, member state governments, think tanks and the private sector. All while putting their advice in context of global dynamics, drawing on GC’s teams in Washington DC, London, Singapore and Doha.
