Pfizer and BioNTech Pursue Legal Action Against Poland and Hungary Over Vaccine Payment Dispute

Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech have recently entered into legal proceedings against the governments of Poland and Hungary. The biotech companies allege that they are owed money for orders of COVID-19 vaccines. These notable cases are being represented by Hakim Boularbah, a partner at Loyens & Loeff, who heads the litigation and risk management practice group in the firm’s Brussels office. Boularbah’s involvement in the cases has been confirmed by a court document obtained by Law.com International and a press officer from the French-speaking court of first instance in the Belgium capital.
