Clifford Chance (CC) competition partner Johan Ysewyn is to join Covington & Burling's Brussels office, after a little more than two years at the magic circle firm.

At Covington, Ysewyn will be joined by Peter Camesasca, who returns to the US-headquartered firm having spent two years leading his own practice.

Ysewyn, who advises on European Commission, international and Belgian competition law, was previously at Linklaters until 2011 before joining CC.
