Monard-D´Hulst has received 3 nominations for the 2010 Belgian Legal Awards. This prestigious award ceremony crowns the best law firms and lawyers of the country and is co-organised by the Federation of Enterprises in Belgium (FEB), the Belgian Institute for Company Lawyers (IBJ) and Febelfin, the coordinating federation for the Belgian financial sector.
On Thursday March 11th the Belgian Legal Awards will be presented in Brussels for the 5th time. These awards recognise Belgian as well as foreign law firms with offices in Belgium which have distinguished themselves in their specialise fields. The jury is composed of over 70 leading personalities from the economic, legal and academic sectors.
Our firm was nominated in no fewer than 3 categories: “Best Belgian law firm”, “Best tax firm” and “Best firm for administrative law”. The nominations for the Belgian Legal Awards are based on the level of quality, innovation and teamwork which the law firms display in their day-to-day practice.
For us, the nominations for the Belgian Legal Awards are a confirmation of our excellent services as well as of the market strategy we have adopted. With 97 lawyers spread across our offices in Brussels, Hasselt, Ghent and Kortrijk, we dispose of a particularly solid local market anchoring and we have grown to become the largest independent law firm in Belgium.
Monard-D´Hulst is particularly well-experienced in offering comprehensive legal advice tailored to the regional, national and international business community. Entrepreneurs generally look for a lawyer who is close to home and choose a single contact for a "one-stop" provision of legal services which provides high-quality, multidisciplinary and integrated advice at realistic rates.
Solutions
We have been constantly growing ever since our formation in 1990. Specialised services for the company and the entrepreneur has always been the guiding principle. Monard-D´Hulst offers a wide range of services for small and large companies, local and international. As a “one-stop shop”, clients can come to Monard-D´Hulst with all their legal issues.
Straightforward disputes, but also complex files are immediately resolved by a lawyer who has the relevant knowledge, experience and know-how. We work both in specialised practice groups and in multifunctional teams on concretely workable and practical legal solutions. This generates time advantages for the client and avoids running up excessive costs. For its services, Monard-D´Hulst uses transparent regional rates tailored to the client and the file.
Personal and practical approach
Monard-D´Hulst attaches great importance to the personal relationship with its clients and focuses on the region where its clients are active. If a client has foreign ambitions, we can optimally accompany it both with our own lawyers and via our extensive network of contacts in the Euregio and further afield in Europe.
Our firm´s practice is divided 50-50 between legal consultancy and litigation. The strength of Monard-D´Hulst is thus in part defined by the extensive courtroom experience of our lawyers. After all, court practice gives an absolute added value to advising, since the advice often has to be able to stand up later to testing in court.
We always strive for a practical approach to the files. If there´s room for mediation and reconciliation, then we explore those avenues, naturally always with an eye for the best interests of the client. This can avoid escalating conflicts or long drawn-out proceedings. If a lawsuit becomes unavoidable, however, the client can rely on vigorous and able assistance in court.
Growth
Monard-D´Hulst understands that entrepreneurs require practical solutions, now more than ever. Our firm has evolved from a legal advisor to a legal business partner for companies, which can offer not only for but also with the client a workable comprehensive solution for each individual file.
The steady growth of Monard-D´Hulst into a national player with 4 offices in Hasselt, Kortrijk, Brussels and Ghent offers proof of this successful strategy. Thanks to this strong regional anchoring, Monard-D´Hulst has built up a unique position and expertise in the market, something which is reflected in the nominations for the Belgian Legal Awards.
Clients like to have their lawyer close to home, and are looking for a single familiar contact for a one-stop shop when it comes to legal services. At the same time, they want high-quality advice that is practical and solution-oriented, but at an acceptable, Belgian price. This is a service which Monard-D´Hulst is perfectly capable of delivering, and moreover we offer the guarantee that we can meet the challenges of the years ahead, always with a personal approach which fulfils the needs of the company, both large and small, national and international.
