The firm has a proven track record advising companies during all stages of their development.
Corporate Finance | Private Equity | M&A
Corporate finance, private equity and M&A transactions are at the heart of the firm’s activities. This practice includes mergers and acquisitions, debt and equity financing involving publicly and privately held companies and private equity transactions.
The firm often assists foreign and international law firms with domestic or international corporate and/or corporate finance transactions.
The firm’s practice also involves advising on corporate governance issues and shareholders’ disputes and acting in matters before the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority (“FSMA”).
Commercial Law and EU Data Protection
The firm has a broad experience in providing advice on the most complex contractual matters and the drafting of all types of commercial agreements (sponsorship, sales, leases, distribution, agency agreements, joint venture agreements, commercial co-operation agreements, complex multi-jurisdictional agreements, loans, guarantees, etc.).
Because of its longstanding experience advising clients in the ICT sector, the firm developed specific know-how in light of the increased importance of EU and EU member state data protection law. The firm specializes in advising its clients as regards the transfer of personal data from the EU to the US.
In view of the increased importance of competition law issues in commercial agreements, the firm can rely on a number of specialists with in-depth knowledge of Belgian and European competition law.
Strategic Dispute Resolution
The firm specializes in offering its clients efficient and value-creating litigation, negotiation and mediation services.
Dotremont Law helps shape conflict resolution from the outset with the end in mind. The firm emphasizes framing and preserving legal issues to improve the odds of success in court or in case of negotiations or to prevent the need for conflict resolution.
The firm’s specialized experience and comprehensive approach to litigation and negotiation strategy is uncommon and highly effective. Our attorneys work together with trial counsel to formulate and implement a comprehensive strategy that is carefully adapted to the cause at hand. In addition, the continuous evaluation of the ongoing proceeding or negotiations yields significant wins for our clients.
Prior to commencing any conflict resolution process, the firm invites its client for an in-depth analysis of the case at hand thereby mapping and categorizing the interests of all parties concerned, the various options (including BATNA) and possible solutions.
