After more than twenty years of working in big law firms alongside Professor VAN OMMESLAGHE, with whom I trained with all the rigour and professionalism that he required of his team, I founded my own law firm in 1998, which I have, in keeping with the classical tradition that drives me, called « Verschueren & associés ».
Established from the outset on Avenue Louise, I have surrounded myself with high-level French- and Dutch-speaking associates whom I have chosen specifically for their experience and know-how in their legal focus areas, thus making « Verschueren & associés » a firm specialising in advising, reconciling and defending individuals, companies and institutions in all branches of law.
