In a fast moving business environment, I help my clients to put the right legal framework in place for their operations. Business opportunities require good negotiation skills and solid contracts. Clients benefit from my wide experience in commercial law both at the national and international level to secure their business opportunities.
Intellectual property law
I help my clients to secure, enforce and optimize their intellectual property rights. If your business model and profits are driven by your intellectual property rights, I can advise you the appropriate legal measures to protect your intellectual property rights from your competitors.
Corporate law
Are you thinking about restructuring or optimizing your corporate structure or organisation? Whether you wish to restructure your corporate organisation, merge with another company or acquire another business, I can provide you the right legal expertise. I can also assist your company to comply with the new provisions of the Belgian Commercial code recently put in place by the Belgian government.
Scale-ups and start-ups services
The Belgian start-up and scale-up scene is booming. The same goes for corporate venturing, whereby large corporations collaborate with start-ups in order to develop new products, services or technologies. You are at an early stage of innovation? I can help you avoid costly mistakes by having the right legal framework in place.

Are you looking for advice in relation to the drafting of an employment contract under Belgian law? Do you intent to hire freelancers or independents without creating a liability as being considered as employer? I help companies navigate the complex Belgian Employment law landscape.
Public procurement law & PPP
Do you need assistance to participate to a complex tender ? I provide training, support and specialised advice to companies participating in public procurement procedures and public-private partnerships (PPPs).
Legal Interim Services
Do you need a temporary replacement due to illness or maternity leave or you have a temporary increase in the volume of legal work? Or do you need additional or specific expertise for a particular project?
