He advises clients regarding Administrative Law, Public Law and Environmental Law and he is also an expert in the regulation regarding soil contamination.

Dominique is recognised as one of the key persons behind brownfield development in Flanders.

He has an all-round experience in all aspects of environmental law (packaging, permits, water, air, waste) and focuses on soil remediation files.
