Dispute Resolution
Position
Sandra is a partner in the Commercial and Dispute Resolution practices and heads the Insurance and Reinsurance team.
Career
Sandra has a particular focus on:
- insurance law
- liability issues
- pensions law
- litigation
Sandra’s six years’ experience with ING Insurance (now Vivium) means that she combines direct sector experience with a legal perspective, giving her a unique view and understanding of the issues confronting her clients. We say “unique” because no other law firm has this blend of experience in house.
Her clients include Belgian and international insurance and reinsurance companies, professional organisations, mutual societies and insurance intermediaries.
She advises and litigates in the fields of life and non-life insurance, distribution of insurance products including new distribution forms, regulatory, compliance and corporate governance, reinsurance, corporate insurance and transfer of portfolios, the development of new insurance products and review of policy wording and premium insurance tax.
She has in-depth knowledge of the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD) and maintains excellent contact with insurers, actuaries, academics, insurers’ associations and control authorities. Her combined knowledge of collective insurance and pensions is outstanding.
Languages
Dutch, French & English
Education
Sandra graduated with a law degree from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KUL) in 1994. After her studies, she took a number of supplementary courses in insurance and risk management, including at Assuralia and with the German reinsurer, Münchener Rück. Sandra was admitted to the Brussels Bar in 1999.
