I define myself as a solutions builder, and therefore as a team builder: depending on the stakes, I collaborate with the best lawyers to meet my clients' specific needs. I organize and coordinate legal strategy, both offensive and defensive, and I lead negotiations for strategic agreements (mergers, acquisitions, commercial partnerships). I am also recognized as a strong advocate for alternative dispute resolution methods (arbitration, mediation, conciliation, mandatory third-party decision-making), both in Belgium and internationally.

Accredited by the Federal Mediation Commission (CFM) and a member of several mediation centers, I act as an accredited mediator or conciliator to guide parties toward a negotiated solution to their dispute. I am also regularly appointed by the courts as a judicial mediator. I have conducted dozens of assignments in civil and commercial matters, particularly for large companies, including listed ones, and in transnational contexts. I frequently intervene in disputes between (former) partners or between family branches of the same company.

Faced with the rise in insolvency cases, commercial courts are increasingly resorting to corporate mediation. In this context, I act as a restructuring practitioner, facilitating agreements between companies and creditors. I also serve as a provisional administrator when the court deems it necessary to temporarily suspend the powers of management bodies in order to restore the company's viability or rebuild trust with its stakeholders.

Drawing on my experience as an executive and board member of leading companies in their respective sectors—primarily finance—I value what I call my "bilingualism": a combined mastery of legal language and the more intuitive language of business. This dual expertise allows me to act as a board member or expert, as well as a co- arbitrator, in ad hoc or institutional arbitrations, particularly under the auspices of CEPANI.
