Keller and Heckman's Brussels Office Advances to the Top Tier in Chambers' Rankings

Keller and Heckman’s Brussels office has advanced to the top tier in Chambers’ rankings due to its excellent reputation for food law. The EU Food & Drug Practice is considered the leading practice for applications to the European Commission (EC) for marketing authorisation and on subsequent appeals of negative decisions by the EC or member state authorities. The team is highly regarded for issues such as food waste and food decontamination and frequently coordinates EU-wide advisory mandates relating to labelling and health claims. The food practice promotes, protects, and defends products made by the spectrum of industries regulated under national, international, and EU food law, routinely advising the world’s largest and most prestigious food manufacturing and food processing conglomerates. Clients indicate “they are experts in food regulation” and cite that “it is a well-respected practice for nitty gritty regulatory work.”

Keller and Heckman LLP’s EU Food & Drug practice ranked Band 1 in the 2018 Chambers and Partners Europe Guide, in the category of Regulatory: Agro/Food Europe-wide. This ranking further asserts Keller and Heckman’s international stronghold as a leader in the food, drug, and packaging law industries.

For over two decades, Chambers has highlighted the uppermost tiers of legal performance, establishing those selected for inclusion in its Band categories as leaders in their respective fields. Chambers relies on extensive client feedback in addition to robust independent research to determine its rankings. Practices and independent attorneys are ranked based on effectiveness, achievements, experience, and value delivered to clients.

Keller and Heckman has a broad practice in the areas of regulatory law, public policy, and litigation, serving both domestic and international clients. With offices in Washington DC, Brussels, San Francisco, Shanghai, and Boulder, the firm helps the world's most vital businesses achieve their objectives. A pioneer in the use of interdisciplinary approaches to legal issues, Keller and Heckman has had an in-house scientific staff since 1971.
