Commercial Law

Over the years, Van Bael & Bellis has developed a strong expertise in general commercial law, with a primary focus on Belgian law.  Obviously, in view of our general expertise in European law, the developments and impact of European legislation on Belgian commercial law are also understood in great detail.  Further, based on its multinational team of lawyers, Van Bael & Bellis closely monitors the evolution of various aspects of commercial law in all the Member States of the European Union and beyond.  These monitoring activities ensure that we are always informed about the latest legal developments, and the information gathered through these activities and the subsequent legal analysis forms an integral component of the overall advice we offer our clients from around the world.

Our range of services spans every aspect of commercial law including, inter alia:

  • Contracts:  the field of contact law is diverse.  We put our expertise to work for our clients in negotiating and drafting contracts ranging from straightforward lease contracts to complex assets purchase agreements.
  • Distribution: we advise clients on the structuring of distribution systems.  We seek to ensure that the distribution networks are as efficient as possible while remaining legally compliant with national and European law. To this end, our lawyers have expertise in dealing with national and EU competition rules regarding, inter alia, selective or exclusive distribution, agency, licensing and franchise agreements.  In short, we fully support our clients in the creation, the management and the expansion of their distribution network in Belgium and abroad.  We have also developed a particular expertise in drafting and advising on distribution contracts for the automotive industry.
  • Production, sale and marketing: we advise clients on EU and national law affecting the manufacture and sale of their products in Europe, including
