Philippe & Partners

About this office:

Philippe & Partners was founded in Brussels in 2000. The firm has joined forces with law firms located in Charleroi (previously named Bullman & Bossard) and Liège. Recently, the firm merged the Brussels' banking and finance department of Elegis (formerly Buyle, Dieryck & Maingain) and with Beius (formerly van Dievoet, Jegers, Van der Mosen & Partners). The firm has branch offices in Luxemburg and Paris and is a member of an international network of lawyers.

Our lawyers are selected for their academic achievements and sound experience in their areas of practice. Many of our lawyers are trilingual French, Dutch and English. On top, we are able to work on German, Luxembourgish, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Slovak. On a regular basis most of our lawyers publish writings in their areas of practice and are invited to speak or contribute at conferences.

Philippe & Partners now is a Belgian full service law firm providing high quality legal services at reasonable financial conditions. To the satisfaction of its clients, Philippe & Partners is committed to serve local, European and multinational companies of varying size as well as public institutions and organizations both for their local and international business needs.
