'contrast‘s heavyweight team has featured in most of the cartel investigations brought by the Belgian Competition Authority (BCA), as well as the majority of interim measures cases. In addition, it also features prominently in abuse of dominance matters and merger reviews. Frank Wijckmans, Filip Tuytschaever and Herlinde Burez jointly lead the highly regarded group. The team also includes Emmelie Wijckmans, Milena Varga and Sébastien Engelen, who were promoted to counsel in 2020. Stefanie Colaers made senior associate.'
