About

Provided by Janson

In the Belgian market, Janson is second to none when it comes to the width of the dispute resolution practice. The firm has excellent lawyers in dispute resolution and white collar crime and both teams work very well together.

The team is highly active in the financial services industry and has a large expertise in banking (including insolvency) and corporate litigation. Janson is the only Belgian law firm who has/had a leading role in three of the most important banking litigation cases over the past ten years: the Fortis case, the collapse of Optima Bank and the Arco case.
