Currently, I am a Senior Counsel Corporate / M&A lawyer in the Antwerp office of KPMG law. I have more than 12 years’ experience representing and assisting clients reaching from entrepreneurs, small and medium sized companies to multinationals in complex commercial and corporate matters.

I advise and assist my clients on general business law issues and corporate transactions, dealing with a variety of industry sectors, with a strong focus on mergers and acquisitions, restructurings (including insolvency) and corporate law.

In addition, I am a frequent speaker at seminars (M&D, Wolters Kluwer, Juristendagen, Indicator/Larcier, Intersentia, etc.) and author of various legal publications (see enclosed). Since 2017 until May 2019 I was therefore an affiliated researcher at the Jan Ronse Institute for Corporate and Financial law of the Catholic University of Leuven.
