Ivan Peeters

Ivan Peeters has established a solid reputation in the area of financial transactions and financial regulations. He has developed a banking & finance practice at two other leading firms, accruing wide experience in a highly varied range of financial transactions and the associated regulatory framework. His work as in-house counsel at one of the largest Belgian banks gives this experience an extra dimension. He provides services to financial institutions (creditors), investors, borrowers and government authorities in relation to their financing needs or their service provision regarding third parties.

He has contributed considerably to the development of relevant Belgian legislation (including in relation to covered bonds, collateral arrangements, the Belgian Companies Code, residential mortgage lending and securities). A particular focus is to assist more complex financial transactions and structured finance (securitisation, asset-based financing), cross border acquisitions and restructuring. During the financial crisis he was involved in the rescue operations of various Belgian banks.

Ivan is a member of the editorial board of the Belgian specialised review "Banking and Finance" ("Bank- en Financiewezen") and of TBH/RDC ("Revue de Droit Commercial").
