Mr Julien Lecler KC > Loyens & Loeff > Brussels, Belgium > Lawyer Profile

Loyens & Loeff has ‘the leading role in the market by expertise, track record, availability and quality of service‘. The firm fully integrates its tax and legal real estate capability, providing a one-stop shop for major real estate developments involving permits, construction, VAT, leases and more. The firm also handles a growing number of lenders’ mandates for the financing of real estate transactions. ‘Outstanding‘ practice head Christophe Laurent, experienced partner Ariane Brohez, newly appointed partner Julien Lecler and counsel Lien Bellinck are the key contacts in the ‘pragmatic, commercial and results-driven‘ team.

Loyens & Loeff provides a ‘high-quality level of work’ to investors and developers on the acquisition and disposal of commercial real estate assets, as well as advice on forward-funding and forward-commitment transactions, and on real estate management issues. Recently promoted to partner, Julien Lecler is gaining a strong reputation in the market, on both Luxembourg and Belgian mandates, as a result of his ‘business-oriented and deal-making’ attributes. Audrey Jarreton has enhanced the firm’s real estate finance capabilities since joining from Stibbe in January 2023, and both she and banking and finance head Anne-Marie Nicolas have handled work for lenders and borrowers on new money and refinancing transactions in the sector. Véronique Hoffeld co-heads the team alongside Lecler.
