Lydian’s Corporate/M&A department comprises 19 business lawyers and covers the broad range of Belgian corporate, M&A, acquisition finance, joint ventures, private equity and Belgian merger control matters. We assist large and medium-sized Belgian and international companies in connection with both national and cross-border transactions – both private and public.

All the lawyers in our team are multilingual with an excellent command of English and they have particular areas of expertise, whether in business restructuring and insolvency, corporate advisory, corporate governance, corporate housekeeping, corporate litigation, equity capital markets, finance, joint ventures and partnerships, mergers and acquisitions or tax. Together they have experience in handling every legal aspect of corporate law. They are true experts in their field and have excellent working relationships with different authorities, both on a national and regional level.

We are the preferred Belgian partner for major international law firms seeking a high-quality business law firm in Belgium that can advise their clients on all aspects of Belgian law, and we are actively involved in innovative and complex files.
