Lydian opens office in Hasselt

Independent, full-service, business law firm Lydian announces the opening of its Hasselt office.

Wouter Neven, Managing Partner: "Since its establishment in 2009, Lydian has been advising large and medium-sized Belgian and international companies on all aspects of law. Pragmatic, to-the-point, high-level advice, taking into account the legal and business concerns of its clients, at competitive rates is the hallmark of Lydian. A hallmark that is currently being guaranteed from its Brussels and Antwerp offices by almost 100 people, of whom 65 are lawyers who are highly recommended in prestigious legal directories such as Chambers and Legal 500. In this way, Lydian offers an alternative to the traditional Brussels business law firm. Also thanks to this unique position, and to a number of partners with roots and a network of contacts in Limburg, Lydian has already built a strong client base in this province. Consequently, the opening of an office in Hasselt is a logical step in our further expansion, which also supports the growth potential of Limburg."

Hugo Keulers, Partner in Commercial & Litigation, continues: "Pre-eminently, Lydian is a client-driven law firm for which our external as well as our internal clients are of the utmost importance. Also, following the increasing difficulties of mobility, this local presence meets one of the real needs of our business partners and employees, since they literally and figuratively do not wish to stand still. We offer our business partners the same first-class quality as the traditional Brussels business law firm, but closer to the heart of their business and therefore more cost effective; our Limburg lawyers are offered a better work-life balance in a positive work environment with challenging files. In other words, Lydian aims to be the only 'Brussels' office in Limburg supporting complex and strategic challenges, often with an international aspect."

The official opening is planned for the beginning of 2015. About 10 lawyers with different specialties will then take up residence in a building called "the Old Gasthuis", a historical building situated close to the centre of Hasselt in front of the "Kanaalkom".
