Patrick Van Haudt

Patrick Van Haudt has been the General Counsel (GC) of the Belgian Firm since July 2015, serving as the firm’s Chief Legal Officer and overseeing the Office of General Counsel (OGC) which is charged with providing legal advice to the practice and the firm’s Partners, Directors and Staff on a wide range of matters.

The appointment as General Counsel came after little more than 20 years working as a certified tax professional. During this period, Patrick combined his work as client engagement lead for major tax clients with a risk management role.

For a regulated business like PwC, the ever-changing complexity of the regulatory environment, the inherent significant litigation risks in professional services and our continuous strive for operational excellence and digitisation have reinforced the GC position as an enabler for our business strategy and to protect the firm.
