Bart A. Creve's advisory and litigation practice focuses on all aspects of competition and State aid law, as well as general EU law matters. 

Bart represents Danish and foreign clients in a wide array of economic sectors, including energy, telecoms, aviation, shipping, pharmaceuticals, motion pictures, gambling, consumer electronics and foodstuffs. His particular talent for mastering the details of a case and grasping cross-jurisdictional issues means he has provided valuable assistance to clients in proceedings before the European Commission and the European Courts as well as national authorities and/or courts in Denmark, Belgium, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Korea and the US. 

Bart has coordinated several multi-jurisdictional merger proceedings and is currently involved in infringement cases such as the "Air Cargo" and "Power Cables" cartel cases, and two landmark "pay-for-delay" cases. Bart has also developed extensive experience in distribution, pricing and cooperation strategies at both national and international level, and he is active as either plaintiff or defence counsel in a number of State aid proceedings.

After training as a Belgian attorney-at-law with Linklaters in Brussels, Bart worked in the ECN/Cartel division of the European Commission, Directorate-General for Competition.
