Contracts are the backbone of every business relationship. We draft, review and negotiate a full range of commercial agreements — from straightforward service contracts to complex multi-party technology transactions. Whether you are entering a new partnership, licensing software or restructuring an existing arrangement, we ensure your interests are protected and your obligations are clear. Maître Haouideg brings both transactional and litigation experience to every mandate.
When a dispute arises, you need counsel who combines legal rigor with strategic thinking. We represent clients before Belgian courts and in alternative dispute resolution proceedings — including mediation and arbitration — in matters involving IP infringement, contractual disagreements, unfair competition and technology-related conflicts. Our goal is always to find the most efficient and cost-effective path to a resolution, whether that means negotiating a settlement or pursuing a case to judgment.
Sound legal advice at the right moment can save significant time and resources. We provide strategic guidance on IP & technology matters, regulatory compliance, data protection (GDPR), and the legal aspects of digital transformation. Whether you are launching a new product, expanding into a new market or navigating the evolving landscape of AI and platform regulation, we give you clear, actionable advice tailored to your business objectives.
Your intellectual property is a core business asset. We help rights holders detect, assess and act against infringement — from cease-and-desist letters and border seizures to full-scale litigation before the Belgian courts and the Unified Patent Court. We also advise on anti-counterfeiting strategies, online enforcement (notice-and-takedown, domain disputes) and the coordination of multi-jurisdictional enforcement campaigns across the EU and beyond.
Sometimes a business needs senior legal expertise without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. Drawing on 20+ years of experience as in-house counsel at international companies, we integrate seamlessly into your team on a part-time or project basis. We can run your legal function, manage external counsel, build or review contract templates, train staff and handle day-to-day legal operations — giving you the capacity and expertise you need, exactly when you need it.
A strong trademark strategy is the foundation of brand protection. We advise on trademark selection and clearance searches, file and prosecute applications before the BOIP, EUIPO and WIPO, and manage your portfolio across multiple jurisdictions. We also handle office actions, oppositions and cancellation proceedings, ensuring that your brand rights remain enforceable and commercially valuable throughout their lifecycle.
