Liedekerke is one of the largest independent law firms in Belgium. We are a full-service law firm covering more than twenty specialist areas, whether the need is for advice, transactional work or dispute resolution. Since 1965, Liedekerke represented international and domestic businesses – from start-ups and private companies to major listed companies and multinational corporations – as well as financial institutions, governmental bodies and intergovernmental institutions.
 
With over 120 lawyers, our goal is not to be the largest firm but to be the firm of choice for clients who require trusted advice and innovative and business-aware legal solutions. Each of our practice areas is highly regarded, and our lawyers are recognised for their commitment to our clients’ interests. We look after our clients with energy, creativity and dedication. In turn they value our intellectual agility, business-aware approach and capacity for innovation as well as our utmost integrity and human qualities. We cherish that character and aim to maintain it.

That’s why we are constantly on the lookout for students, talented graduates and experienced associates as well as professionals who share these values and ambitions.

Embracing a feedback culture throughout the firm. Constructive feedback is crucial for efficient teamwork and a positive, motivating atmosphere. To achieve this, we've been working on fostering a feedback culture within the firm for years. This involves better self-awareness of our strengths and weaknesses, as well as understanding those of our closely collaborating colleagues. This way, we optimise collaboration by considering each other's traits.
 

An inclusive workplace begins by welcoming diverse perspectives. Our current data does not mirror societal demographics, a fact we acknowledge. We are actively working to rectify this, recognising that companies play a vital role in fostering an inclusive society. Our goal isn't merely cosmetic data but rather to ensure everyone feels valued in the firm and has opportunities for professional growth.

Concrete actions we take:
  • The firm became a founding member of the Legal Diversity & Inclusion Alliance in 2019. Comprising 50 national and international law firms in Brussels, this network collaboratively elevates diversity and inclusion in the legal sector. Visit https://legaldiversityalliance.be for details.
  • In 2020, the Gender Equity Unit was established. Consisting of around 30 office members, including lawyers and support staff from diverse backgrounds, this task force actively develops projects to enhance gender equity, particularly in senior positions within the firm.
  • In 2023, we received the Actiris diversity label for the efforts carried out under the diversity action plan which we started in 2019 and which we continue implement.

The earth is our home and thus that of Liedekerke Law. That companies should dwell on their ecological footprint when carrying out their activities is undeniable. Liedekerke is therefore working hard to take care of its home by, for example, making adjustments to its infrastructure, providing guidelines regarding simple daily reflexes that we all need to cultivate in order not to give energy wasting and climate polluting activities a chance.

Giving back to the society. The firm values its success, it is the result of focused and thorough work, continuing to educate itself and working constantly to improve and excel in its services. A characteristic that unites all of us in the firm is not letting success blind one to giving back to society. Pro-bono work is done and various projects are set up to assist the needy. So, the skills at our disposal are definitely being utilised to make a difference in that too.
