Presence in Belgium? We’ve got deep expertise on the whole process
Brussels, as the epicentre of European decision-making, is the ideal place to establish a strong European presence. As an international law firm or any other business faced with tax transparency rules, you’ll need to know how to structure your presence in Belgium based on local tax laws, reporting requirements and statutory filings that are in place.
We help you in a 3-step approach so that you only need to focus on growing
your business.

Partnership-centric solutions tailored to the firm
We explore with you different set-ups for your office or presence in Belgium and analyse their impact in the hands of the partners. We examine the consequences for both Belgian resident and non-resident partners, giving equal consideration to the distinction between an equity partner and a contract partner, along with the corresponding compensation models.
Our primary focus is on partner compensation and benefits, taking into account the diversity present within your partnership model.
