About our firm

Our partners have logged several years of experience within international U.S. and English law firms and/or prestigious Belgian firms specialized in business law.

Our firm’s clients therefore enjoy the best of both worlds. On the one hand, they receive the quality and speed of reaction they have come to expect from an international law firm while, on the other hand, they are benefitting from the excellence and the flexibility, limited risk of conflict of interests, person-to-person service and realistic fees of a first-class Brussels independent law firm.
