YOUR LEGAL AND TAX EXPERTS
| | |
|
The law firm DE BROECK - VAN LAERE & Partners, with offices in Brussels, Ghent and Antwerp, has grown, since 1998, into a professional and dynamic team of lawyers offering companies and private individuals integrated legal services ranging from compliance to consulting and litigation, led by the following partners: Leo De Broeck, Didier Van Laere, Jan Van Camp, Bart Coopman, Alain Claes, Jo Roseleth, Tom Vanraes, Marc Quaghebeur and Guy Poppe.
|
In contrast to traditional law firms, we work as tax "business lawyers" and estate planners and consider companies and their managers to be our principal client group.
We make it our objective to find tailor-made and pragmatic solutions, while paying special attention to quality and strategic insight.
|
For international issues, we are a member of the international network of law-firms "World Link for Law", which offers a broad range of legal services through its members and which is able, when necessary, to provide the necessary assistance abroad.
|
|
Our law office is based on two complementary pillars:
| | |
|
 | the Tax Department |
|
Our specialist and academic know-how and the permanent synergy between both departments are undeniably one of the firm's strongest assets and are conducive to the settlement of cases.
|
In order to optimise the services provided to our growing client base, we strive to enhance our knowledge of the law continually by teaching seminars, actively taking part in academic activities and contributing to frequently to books and magazines in our area of specialisation.
