We provide day-to-day support to local and foreign companies, of whatever size, and their executives. We advise on all applicable legal and regulatory requirements and give them assistance in times of crisis. As advisers we must above all focus on ways to prevent or limit the emergence or continuation of litigation, whether through prevention or negotiation.
We are also litigation lawyers, recognized as such by the profession and believe that our experience in litigation informs the quality of our advice. We are experienced in national, transnational, and community jurisdictional proceedings before ordinary courts and before arbitration tribunals. We act in arbitrations as counsels or arbitrators and are comfortable with alternative dispute resolution and negotiated justice. For mediated negotiations, one of our partners is a mediator accredited by the Belgian Federal Mediation Commission.
We organize internal training courses at client's request and carry out legal studies, particularly of comparative law.
Real estate and construction law
Our Firm provides comprehensive support for the organization and monitoring of all real estate projects, whether selling, buying, renting, leasing, or building, or sophisticated variations of those functions. We work in pure real estate operations and in acquisitions, disposals, or restructuring of groups or companies.
The practice includes carrying out legal audits, considering increasingly numerous and complex regulations in the fields of town planning and environment, negotiating and drafting contracts, preparing files for the purpose of obtaining subsidies or the required funding and permits, and any settlement of related litigation, whether civil or administrative.
The Firm has extensive experience in commercial leasing, and in commercial property and real property management in major distribution networks.
