Aceris Law’s Belgium Arbitration Lawyers Desk is a dedicated team of lawyers at Aceris Law, a specialised international arbitration law firm, which accompanies clients involved in arbitrations concerning Belgium, i.e., where Belgian law applies, a contract is executed in Belgium, the dispute is brought by or against a party in Belgium, or the Belgian State or a Belgian State entity is involved.
Aceris Law’s Harvard, Oxford and Sorbonne trained lawyers are admitted to bars of Western Europe, Eastern Europe and North America and have significant prior experience dealing with commercial, construction and investment treaty arbitrations under the ICC, ICSID, UNCITRAL, LCIA, SCC, SIAC, ICDR, VIAC and other arbitration rules, many of which have concerned Belgium and neighbouring States.
We maintain permanent access to offices in Brussels to meet and work with clients, although our home office is in Geneva, Switzerland, and we are always accessible to clients, regardless of their location, by videoconference. Our Belgium Arbitration Lawyers Desk also has access to Belgian jurisprudence and doctrine, while speaking French and English fluently.
Our Belgium Arbitration Lawyers Desk maintains ties to the best domestic Belgian lawyers, who are involved depending on the specific needs of a given arbitration. This ensures that our clients obtain the best arbitration legal representation while also maintaining cost-effectiveness for arbitrations involving Belgium.
