About

Provided by Lydian

Lydian’s Real Estate department comprises more than 20 lawyers, including 2 partners, working from the firm’s offices in Brussels, Antwerp, and Hasselt.


Lydian’s focus on industries such as ‘Real Estate Developers & Investors’ differentiates us from other firms. The size of our real estate team allows us to solve legal issues in a qualitative and swift manner. Besides this, the traditional approach and organisation has been converted into a client-focused way of tackling legal issues: integrated legal work across the boundaries of various practices. We have particular expertise in commercial property projects, engineering, procurement and construction, environmental law, planning and urban development, portfolio management and lettings, PPP/PFI, real estate litigation, real estate transactions and real estate tax.


A strong alternative to the traditional Brussels business law firm, we represent large and medium-sized Belgian and international companies on all their real estate work – at competitive rates.

Lydian’s local footprint makes us an attractive choice of real estate legal advisor to large international corporations seeking a high-quality local partner.
