But foremost: making your business happen.I'm a distribution law expert. I set up and implement exclusive and selective distribution networks in retail, automotive and IT. I'll assist you with competition law issues, both vertical (contracts and contractual restraints) and horizontal (cartels and information exchange). I've got extensive experience in public tendering for goods, services or concession agreements. I can assist in submitting tenders, solving practical issues during the execution of the contract and litigation when things go awry.During my career I've assisted large companies and SME's with their commercial contracts, ranging from terms & conditions to complex international agreements. I've defended my clients' interests before nearly all of Belgium's courts and tribunals in a vast array of topics. I'll train your employees in the commercial practicalities of a distribution network, in dawn raids and public tender issues. I carry out legal interim assignments, enabling me to understand your company's functioning and achieving your company's goals. I've grown up in an SME environment, working at all levels (production, administration, sales, ISO certification and management). I've lived, studied and worked abroad in countries like Australia and Italy. I've been a lawyer in multicultural and multilingual environments my whole career, working in Dutch, English, French and Italian. Thinking with your, for you. Show less
