Attorney – Partner
Profile
I am a lawyer since 2012. I started my career at Claeys & Engels (law firm specialised in human resources law), before co-founding Yelaw in 2022.
What defines me:
✔ I communicate clearly – I don’t use legal jargon or incomprehensible Latin expressions. I am passionate about legal design.
✔ I work for both private and public sector clients – I can perfectly handle both employment law and civil servants law and am comfortable before the labour courts as well as before the Council of State.
✔I love my job, as much as I love my family (I’m married and I have two boys) and my friends (with whom I like to play tennis … or share a good bottle of wine).
