Olswang has boosted its Brussels competition practice with the hire of a partner from Loyens & Loeff. Koen Platteau joined the UK firm earlier this week (1 October) from the Benelux leader – where he headed the Brussels EU, competition and regulatory practice.

Platteau will work as part of the EU and competition practice at Olswang where he will deal with matters including merger control cases, cartel work, competition litigation and state aid issues.
