About
Provided by Strelia
We believe that disputes are best prevented or avoided. We help our clients to prevent them or advise them on how to put themselves in the best possible situation should a dispute ever arise. If a dispute is inevitable, we consider the possibility of resolving it amicably, including through mediation.
If legal actions are appropriate, we represent our clients before the national courts and in national and international arbitration proceedings. We take a strategic approach, combined with our technical insight, to each dispute.
Our accredited mediators fully respond to the new Belgian Act of 18 June 2018 allowing the courts to impose mediation on parties during court proceedings.
Our Dispute Resolution practice focuses on:
- Corporate Disputes
- Commercial Contracts & Distribution
- Arbitration & Mediation
- Insolvency-related Litigation
- Banking, Finance & Insurance
- Industrial Risk
- International Disputes
