De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek
Our clients, people and drive for quality are the energisers of our firm. They are the basis from which we deliver a powerful corporate practice, a centre of excellence in litigation and arbitration, and an unparalleled team of compliance experts. We are at our best when matters are multidisciplinary in scope, with cross-border ramifications and when reputations are at risk. This is why we encourage our lawyers to combine in-depth legal expertise with the ability to collaborate with other experts across all relevant legal and non-legal disciplines. We see our clients’ challenges with clarity and in their full legal and commercial context, wherever they operate. We advise them from our offices in Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Shanghai and Singapore on all matters important to them. Based on our expertise and experience we do this ourselves or together with local counsel if local specialist advice is required.

Paqt Advocaten Moore Law
Paqt Advocaten - Part of Moore Law - bestaat omdat organisaties en ondernemers nood hebben aan adviseurs die doen wat juist is. Dat begint bij een goed begrip, want een goed adviseur luistert in de eerste plaats naar de persoon die de vraag stelt. Om vervolgens de juiste expertises samen te brengen: juridisch, met aandacht voor onder andere cijfers en economische realiteit. Elk van ons heeft een bijzondere deskundigheid, die we zo nodig bij elk vraagstuk kunnen samenbrengen. Omdat we geloven in verenigde krachten. Wie ondernemers adviseert, moet weten - nee, voelen - wat dat betekent. Daarom dat andere professionals, zoals accountants, revisoren, notarissen en payrollbeheerders ons ook als sparring partner zien. Zo versterken we elkaar en daarmee ook uw onderneming. We zetten ons even hard in voor de zaak, als voor de mensen erachter. Waarom? Omdat we geloven in ondernemerschap. Meteen ook de reden waarom we gedreven zijn het elke dag beter te doen. Hoe? Overleggen als het kan, procederen als het nodig is. Maar sowieso altijd als onafhankelijk kantoor. We hebben enkel baat bij cliënten die goed geholpen zijn. Dat is, wat ons betreft, veel meer dan alleen een juridisch vraagstuk.

Desdalex Advocaten Lawyers Avocats
Desdalex Advocaten is een advocatenkantoor verankerd in Antwerpen, gespecialiseerd in verscheidene rechtstakken. We hebben een breed cliënteel, zowel particulieren als bedrijven doen beroep op onze expertise. De bvba Advocatenkantoor Desdalex werd opgestart op 1 januari 1996 en verhuisde precies zes jaar later naar het America House aan de Amerikalei in Antwerpen. Van daaruit zijn we uitgegroeid tot een kantoor met een zeventienkoppig advocatenteam en zeven ondersteunende en administratieve medewerkers. In november 2015 vervoegde Claudia Van de Velde Tom Dael, Kris Luyckx en Tom Hermans als nieuwe partner. De cel familierecht werd vanaf dan uitgebreid met drie bijkomende experten in het personen- en familierecht. Een sterke aanwinst voor het kantoor. Desdalex bouwde over de jaren heen een uitgebreide expertise op in de meest diverse takken van de advocatuur en heeft meer dan behandelde dossiers op de teller staan. Advocaten verdedigen de juridische belangen van hun cliënten, dat spreekt voor zich. Artikel van het Gerechtelijk wetboek bepaalt dat zij dat vrij doen en uiteraard ter verdediging van het recht en van de waarheid. Wij trachten voor elk juridisch probleem dan ook de best mogelijke oplossing voor te stellen. Dat doen wij middels adviezen, besprekingen met derden of raadslieden en – indien nodig – door het voeren van een proces. Aangezien het recht en de rechtspraak constant evolueert, staat ook ons kantoor niet stil. Desdalex hecht bijgevolg de nodige aandacht aan voortdurende studie en bijscholing.

Ecta Official
ECTA promotes knowledge and professionalism of members and owners alike in the fields of trade marks, designs, copyright, geographical indications and other IP rights, within the European Union. The association was founded in 1980, with the initial aim to create an association of IP practitioners, whose main interest was focused on trade marks, and to be involved in the creation of a European trade mark system. There was no Community Trade Mark system (CTM) at that time and it was still uncertain whether it would ever become reality. However, ECTA was able to play an active role in the drafting of the CTM regulation. In 1998, its role was redefined so as to follow more closely the implementation of the CTM system. Currently, the CTM (now EUTM) system has been fully implemented and ECTA has also been actively involved in the reform of the CTM in the recent years by providing various parties with well reasoned opinions and contributions. ECTA is following and actively contributing to many ongoing legislative and implementation processes, including the recently finalised EU copyright law reform, the ongoing reform of the design law, evaluation of domain names practices and much more.
