Firm Overview:

Eubelius is Belgium’s largest independent law firm, with offices in Brussels, Kortrijk and Antwerp. Our 25 partners, 16 (senior) counsels and more than 100 associates offer counselling and representation on Belgian and European law. We have privileged working relationships with outstanding independent law firms in many foreign jurisdictions. Our practice has a strong national and international focus, and a significant proportion of our work is cross-border (both inbound and outbound). We serve a very diverse client base, ranging from Fortune 500 multinationals to local entrepreneurs, a large number of companies with public law status, and numerous Belgian companies which are part of large international groups. We represent all Belgian language communities and handle matters in English, Dutch, French and German.
