Baker McKenzie associate crowned at 2019 Diwan Awards

Younes Sebbarh won this year’s Diwan Award for 'Lawyer of the Year'. The Diwan Awards reward Belgians with Moroccan roots who can be seen as "role models". Several Belgian and Moroccan ministers, including some members of the royal family, attended the ceremony. Younes succeeds, amongst others, Prof. Dr. Hakim Boularbah and Sarah Benzidi (LLM Harvard Law).

On 26 February 2019, Younes also won the first prize at the VPG Pleading Competition which took place at the 'Universitaire Stichting' in Brussels.

Younes is corporate lawyer at the international law firm Baker McKenzie, where he primarily concentrates on listed companies, mergers & acquisitions and equity capital markets transactions.

He was admitted to the Brussels Bar after obtaining law degrees from the University of Leuven, the University of Louvain-la-Neuve and the University of Hasselt.
