contrast is pleased to announce that Herlinde Burez will strengthen its partnership.
Herlinde has experience across the entire practice of contrast and in particular in business law, distribution law and competition law matters.
Her practice currently focuses on business law matters. Herlinde supports clients in shaping commercial relationships (e.g. with distributors and suppliers) to fit their business needs. She also assists clients in the day-to-day management of those relationships, including in relation to the termination of commercial cooperation agreements and related conflict management. Herlinde also has extensive experience in EU and Belgian merger control, and in the coordination of multi-jurisdictional mergers.
Bart Bellen, corporate & business law partner, comments as follows “Herlinde is a brilliant lawyer with experience across our entire practice. As a home-grown contraster, she embodies our core values: quality, ambition, team spirit, personal commitment and integrity. Herlinde will strengthen our partnership significantly and I very much look forward to team up with her as partners as we continue to develop our practice.”
Frank Wijckmans, competition & EU law partner, adds “I am very happy that Herlinde has accepted to become a partner of contrast. She was one of the seven founders of the firm. With her talent, commitment and enthusiasm, I am convinced that she will lead by example and pave the way for others to follow.”
Filip Tuytschaever, competition & EU law partner, concludes “I am delighted that Herlinde is joining our partnership. Her top-notch legal skills, pragmatic approach, commitment and considerate character are greatly appreciated by both our clients and our team, and are invaluable to the strategic growth of our firm.”
