About me

Hi there, I am

Marc de Vries

Marc is the founder and managing director of Caselex. Having a background in both law and economics, he has always been fascinated by their interaction. Practicing law himself, he got increasingly frustrated by the Herculian task of finding market definitions – so he decided to establish Caselex, allowing the legal community to have one integrated point of entry to knowledge on markets defined by competition authorities and courts. 

Before embarking on this mission, he was practicing at De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, was on secondment to the European Commission for a couple of years and set up a consultancy company focusing on the re-use of public sector information (see publications).
