Maarten Princen

I am an associate in the Regulatory, Public and Administrative Law department of our Brussels office. My practice primarily revolves around regulatory matters within the healthcare and life sciences sectors.

In addition to my work in healthcare and life sciences regulatory law, I have also developed expertise in public and administrative law. My particular interest lies in the field of public procurement, where I advise clients on legal matters related to government contracts, procurement procedures, and compliance with public procurement regulations.

I hold a law degree from the University of Ghent and have completed an LLM in European law at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. During my academic journey, I had the opportunity to broaden my horizons through international experiences, including a semester at the University of Bologna in Italy.

I was admitted to the Ghent Bar in 2023 and to the Brussels Bar in 2024. Before joining Bird & Bird, I worked as an associate in an Ghent based law firm specialising in Public law and Sports law.
