LEGAL ADVICE IN BELGIUM
This list of legal practitioners, who correspond in English and who can plead before all Belgian
Courts, is provided for the information of Australian travellers and those needing legal assistance
in Belgium.
Every effort has been made to ensure its accuracy but it does not purport to be an exhaustive list.
While every care has been taken in preparing this list, the Australian Embassy in Brussels cannot,
however, take any responsibility for the ability or probity of the practitioners included, nor for the
fees which they might charge.
There are two official bar associations.
