Hein Hobbelen

I and my team assist clients in above-mentioned fields in front of the European Commission and other (national) competition and sector regulatory authorities. I use our award-winning legal technology innovations wherever it may provide added value. I am honored to co-head our integrated Brussels Competition, Trade and PA practice and the Brussels Tech & Comms and Media, Entertainment and Sports sector group.

• My practice spans sectors ranging from TMT and pharmaceuticals to security services, retail, paper/fibre, energy, chemicals, and many others. Throughout my career, I have been involved in a wide variety of cases involving cartels, State aid, mergers, abuse of dominance and trade defence. I represent a number of companies in proceedings before the European Union courts in Luxembourg. I have assisted clients in more than 20 antitrust dawn raids in my career and many cartel cases including leniency. I also work at the interface of competition and TMT regulation, such as recently in a matter involving spectrum allocations.
• Specific to my practice is also the fact that my team supports clients with both EU competition and trade defence cases including litigation and possible PA support. I use our award-winning legal technology innovations wherever it may provide added value. I am a father of two. I love history, cycling, following EU politics, travelling and I am a member of the parents' counsel of my children's school.
• All of this would never be possible without all the great team members with whom I am working!
