Professional Regulation

Belgian lawyers in our Brussels office are admitted in Belgium to practise as lawyers and are members of one of the Brussels Bar associations:

  • Dutch-speaking Brussels Bar: Nederlandse orde van advocaten bij de balie te Brussel (www.baliebrussel.be).

Our Brussels office may also have lawyers who are members of List B (non-EEA lawyers) or List E (EEA lawyers) of the Brussels Bar or members of foreign bar associations. Further information can be found on the People section of our website.

The regulatory provisions and professional rules applicable to members of the Brussels Bar associations may be viewed at their respective websites, as listed above.

Complaints Procedures

We are determined to ensure that all complaints are sensitively, sensibly, and satisfactorily resolved. Please refer to our complaints policy here.

The Belgian Bar associations provide specific non-judicial dispute resolution procedures for unresolved complaints about the quality of service or fees. Details can be obtained from the relevant Bar association, as listed above.

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution: https://.ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We do not participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Professional Indemnity Insurance

Lawyers registered with a Brussels Bar association are covered by an insurance policy provided by that Bar association. Details of these can be supplied by the relevant Bar association. 

In addition, we maintain professional indemnity insurance cover as required by the Solicitors Regulation Authority of England and Wales Indemnity Insurance Rules 2013, on a world-wide basis with two Lloyds Syndicates: QBE Syndicate 0386, QBE Syndicate 1886 and Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance. Please refer to the General Counsel in London for further details of the insurance and how to contact the insurers.

In cases where professional indemnity insurance is required to be placed locally in accordance with statute or regulation, details of such policies can be provided upon request by the General Counsel in London.
