Law Practice in Belgium

Equal-Partners

About us When we set up EQUAL in 2015, we wanted to create a law firm that corresponded with our common goals. Our aim is to lend our legal expertise to the major professional, economic and social challenges of our ever-changing world. Our prime concern is to place the interests of our clients first, and work together on finding specific and long-term solutions to the challenges they encounter. At EQUAL, we are at the forefront of aspects such as the collaborative economy and collaborative practices. This is something that underlines our relations as lawyers with all the stakeholders in our profession. We conceive of the law as being there to further the aim of creating well-being for all.

Exelia

Sans doute à l’instar de toute entreprise, mais avec un besoin accru du fait de sa vocation et de son rôle dans la société, l’identité d’une association d’avocats se définit par une vision et par les valeurs qui réunissent les membres qui la composent. Exelia est une rencontre. La rencontre heureuse de praticiens chevronnés, aux parcours variés, qui ont su identifier leurs qualités juridiques respectives. Celle, aussi voire surtout, de passionnés qui ont rapidement compris qu’au-delà de l’amour de leur métier, ils partageaient une vision et des valeurs communes. Exelia est son client, ou à tout le moins ambitionne d’en devenir une composante légitime et essentielle. Un allié en droit, un conseiller honnête, fiable, efficace et diligent. Nous pensons avec le client, en se mettant en situation pour l’aider à pouvoir faire ses choix stratégiques, et en le guidant pour faire ses choix. Chaque dossier qui nous est confié est nécessairement géré par l’avocat le mieux à même de le traiter, sans qu’aucune considération de profit personnel ne puisse interférer. L’intérêt du client et celui de l’association priment toujours sur celui des avocats qui y travaillent. Auxiliaires responsables d’une justice souvent décriée, fournisseurs d’un service d’appui à haute valeur ajoutée à l’entreprise, qu’elle soit publique ou privée, commerciale ou associative, nous appliquons des tarifs justes, en adéquation avec la plus-value que nous apportons. Conscients de notre responsabilité sociétale, nous assumons notre rôle dans la cité, en apportant notre contribution matérielle, ainsi qu’en temps et en énergie à certaines œuvres associatives et caritatives. L’engagement dans le travail, la qualité de celui-ci, la loyauté, l’esprit d’équipe et l’investissement au profit du projet commun, telles sont les valeurs que partagent les associés et collaborateurs d’Exelia, et ce au profit d’une vision : celle d’un cabinet moderne qui place réellement l’intérêt légitime du client avant le sien.
