Eubelius has a solid offering in urban and environmental matters owing largely to the expertise of Barteld Schutyser and Bart Martel, who lead the public and administrative law group. Acting for a diverse range of clients, among them the Port of Antwerp and Belgian railway operator NMBS, the practice is praised for its knowledge of environmental litigation, with Martel notably advising waste agency OVAM on PFAS contamination proceedings against 3M permit disputes. The team also focuses on issues concerning zoning, soil, waste, asbestos, architectural heritage and more. Laura Janssens maintains close relationships with clients in the construction, infrastructure, and transport industries.
