The lawyers at Philippe Declercq give fast and expert advice, drawing up airtight contracts, providing the necessary support during negotiations or mediating in commercial or civil disputes.

Legal proceedings are carried out as efficiently as possible.

The firm is primarily active in business and civil law.

Legal services focus on commercial law, employment contracts, rent and property law..

The collection of your debt claims takes place through collection modules and the office is familiar with all obstacles that must be overcome among your bad debtors (solvency risk, seizure, bankruptcy, composition, settlement, etc.)

The approach is result and solution-orientated.

Legal proceedings are only recommended after careful evaluation of all the pros and cons.


Quality is assured through optimal use of the latest information technology and the permanent follow-up of developments in legal language and doctrine.

Technology and communication allow for service that in the past was only reserved for the so-called big law firms, made famous by the press.

The limited number of staff (7) allows for a flexible and personal client-orientated approach, while the smaller but high-performance infrastructure allows for lower overheads, which has a positive effect on our fees.

The lawyers in our firm litigate before all the courtrooms in the country.



Brussels is an important legal capital, however, borders are fading away and the international traffic of goods, services and persons is growing.


The development of a network of correspondents in all neighbouring countries and the cooperation with the prominent British firm Berrymans Lace Mawer (founded in 1900) and the Paris firm Bertagna et Associés in BLM Europe enables clients to receive expert advice in their international contracts and proceedings. Contacts in the new EU Member States and in the Middle East are being developed.

Office working languages are Dutch, French, English and German. We are able to handle cases in Italian, Arabic and Hebrew.


The profession is strictly regulated and your legal adviser is ethically bound.

Professional privilege, confidentiality of correspondence between lawyers (which does not apply when the parties are in direct contact with each other), certain irreconcilabilities, conflicts of interest, management of third-party funds, are all regulated and ensure that your lawyer can act completely independently and in your best interest.

Further information is available at the office or on the website of the Order of the Flemish Bar (www.advocaat.be) or the Order of the Francophone and Germanophone Bar (www.obfg.be).
