Firm Description:
We are convinced that priority must be given to innovation as a source of progress.
Our action is therefore guided by a core value, a value reflecting a lawyer’s social role: the success of your projects.
Above all, we seek to understand you and your business.
This is why we do not see a lawyer’s role solely as describing legal rules, but much more as coming up with pragmatic yet legally sound solutions tailored to ensure the successful realisation of your projects. As many of us have worked within your companies (outsourcing/outplacement), we understand “how you tick”.
Anticipating legal developments helps ensure the long-term accuracy of legal solutions. This is the reason why our firm is made up of specialised lawyers. It has very close links with the academic world, and a number of our lawyers take on teaching assignments in the main Belgian universities and certain European ones.
Our firm has branches in several countries and our lawyers are multilingual. We have also developed, over time, privileged partnerships with international lawyer networks sharing our humanist values, allowing us to support your projects throughout the world.
Our firm is completely independent, has a human size and is guided by an irreproachable professional ethic.
Attentive to the sound financial management of our firm, we offer particularly attractive fees.
