Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Stijn Lamberigts rapidly understands the specifics of a case and the client's needs. He also has a solid theoretical background.'
‘To me, Stijn stands out for a number of reasons. He combines a very deep knowledge of criminal law with a pragmatic hands-on approach. I particularly appreciate his detailed knowledge of both the law and the case files, as well as his availability and responsiveness. To me he stands out from a number of other white-collar crime attorneys because of his linguistic capacities. He is fluent in the two main official languages of Belgium (Dutch and French), as well as in English.’
