Firm Overview:
Janson is one of Belgium’s largest independent full-service law firms. The firm was founded in 1950 and has offices in Brussels, Ghent and Mons. Throughout its expansion, Janson has remained independent from other national or international law firms. However, Janson cooperates with an array of top-tier law firms in other jurisdictions on a daily basis.

Janson boasts a team of approximately 100 lawyers, specializing in various areas of law across a broad range of industries. Its dispute resolution practice is one of the most sought-after in the Belgian market by both domestic and foreign clients. Many of its lawyers are multilingual and act as arbitrators and deputy judges in various national and international forums such as CEPANI, ICC, ICSID, SHIAC, IAI, CIETAC, and ad hoc.

Janson has a very close link with the Academic world. Several of its partners and senior associates teach at University law schools, have authored books and articles or are members of editorial boards of one or more legal journals. The firm’s clients are active in various industry sectors including energy, technology, real estate, (tele)communication, finance, fashion, luxury, automotive, environment and health. The firm assists Belgian and foreign clients, companies as well as public authorities, funds and (international) non-profit associations.
