The team at NautaDutilh pairs ‘fighting spirit with dealmaking attitude’, leveraging its litigation and arbitration experience to handle the full range of restructuring matters and insolvency proceedings. Sophie Jacmain's longstanding experience of Belgian insolvency proceedings is evidenced by her ’very practical knowledge’ of both in- and out-of- court restructuring mandates. Jacmain co-heads the team with Stan Brijs, whose practice spans national and cross-border insolvency cases. Karel De Smet is the key contact for business criminal law matters, and Charlotte Van Themsche often advises company shareholders on preventative measures.
