Construction and Development, Belgium

Our Brussels team is very experienced in representing construction and engineering professionals, contractors, developers, employers and owners in both non-contentious and contentious construction and development matters. All construction and development projects, whether large or small, need advisors who can see the wood for the trees, stay calm under pressure, and keep a tight grip on costs. These qualities are evident throughout our team and are supported by our sophisticated early case assessment and project management approach.

We act for local and multinational contractors, developers, employers, owners, public bodies, and construction and engineering professionals on a wide range of matters ranging from simple construction or fit-out schemes to major infrastructure projects.
