In a notable development, McDermott Will & Emery has secured the services of veteran competition partner Axel Schulz, previously of White & Case. This move represents one of the highest profile lateral hires in the Brussels market for this year.
Schulz, who has represented high-profile clients including Toshiba and GlaxoSmithKline in major antitrust cases, has been with White & Case for his entire professional career. He began as an associate in 2000, climbing the ranks to local partner in 2009 and partner in 2012. In 2019, he was entrusted with the designation of “executive partner”, a role which saw him guiding the office through the complications presented by the Covid-19 pandemic. This involved organizing and chairing partner meetings on a fortnightly basis.
This mark of faith grannted to Schulz during such a tumultuous time is a testament to his capabilities, and it is no surprise that his move to McDermott Will & Emery is creating ripples in the industry. To learn more about Axel Schulz’s move, you can read the full article here.
