Quorum > Firm Profile
Quorum is a strategic advisor to corporations seeking to expand their business operations in Belgium and beyond. Our team houses highly experienced legal professionals who provide a modern one-stop-shop service and focus on building long-standing relationships with our diverse client base, spanning start-ups, scale-ups, Belgian enterprises and international companies with operations in Belgium. With an excellent knowledge and understanding of commercial strategy, organisation and governance, we are able to provide cost-efficient and business-minded legal assistance that incorporates the client’s commercial objectives.
Quorum advises on all aspects of commercial, corporate and M&A transactions: from incorporation and leading in negotiations to closing the deal and post-completion litigation risk assessment. We routinely manage entire transactional portfolios, offering integrated legal, tax and compliance assistance in direct competition with larger full-service firms.
Quorum is a go-to firm for complex and novel business ventures, requiring out-of-the-box solutions. For example, we are uniquely positioned to assist clients with setting-up (new) buy-and-build structures and consecutive acquisitions. Such structures require an elaborate legal framework and a thorough understanding of the highly regulated industries where they occur (such as dental practitioners, veterinarians and real estate management). Quorum has repeatedly designed such structures for a number of its clients and boasts the unique experience advising on complex business ventures in highly regulated sectors.
Our ethos is rooted in guiding clients through the entire lifecycle of their business ventures, from incorporation through various transactions, investments and corporate matters, to going public. One prominent example of such long-term partnership is Unifiedpost Group, whom we have supported since the first private equity investment in December 2014. Our involvement in the company’s IPO and post-IPO lifecycle also demonstrates our in-depth knowledge of financial law (with a special focus on inside knowledge and regulated information) and stock exchange law, and places us as an expert in this discipline.
Apart from our corporate and M&A focus, we are also active in the field of commercial litigation and distressed M&A (in particular given the post-Covid situation), thus providing a truly comprehensive support at all stages of our clients’ commercial and corporate matters.
Quorum is already one of the biggest boutique M&A-teams in Belgium but our ambition does not stop there. We are committed to continuous growth, fuelled by our ambition and ever more complex, high-value and business-critical instructions that we continue to receive from some of the fastest growing companies in Belgium. Only this year, we added to our client roster several multinational corporations, whom we advise on multimillion EUR deals and complex corporate and transactional matters.
Ambitious private and public listed companies engage us as lead counsel on complex M&A deals, frequently with cross-border elements. We combine our local knowledge of Belgian laws and regulations with the skill set suited to cross-border work to manage local counsel on multijurisdictional matters. In addition to transactional work, we provide a broad range of corporate law assistance.
