Vermulst Verhaeghe Graafsma & Bronckers is an independent international law firm based in Brussels, Belgium.
Our firm aims to provide premier quality, supported by experience with big law firms, and personalized service, at very competitive rates.
Premier quality
The partners of VVGB are recognized by peers and clients to be leaders in their areas of legal practice. They are consistently singled out in publications such as Chambers Global and Chambers Europe (The World's Leading Lawyers); Who’s Who Legal, Law Business Research (The International Who's Who of Lawyers); Euromoney, European Legal Experts; Practical Law Company; and JUVE Handbuch. They have received their legal education at top law schools in Europe and in the United States (Harvard, Michigan, Stanford). Through their case work, but also through publications and lectures they remain at the cutting edge of legal developments. The associates of VVGB come from a diverse background, many with postgraduate degrees, and all with a high level of dedication and legal skills.
Big firm experience
The partners of VVGB have all worked at major European and US law firms, and have also held senior positions in these partnerships (including that of European managing partner). While respecting the professionalism of these big firms, the partners at VVGB have preferred to continue practicing as a ‘boutique’. They are convinced that they can provide a more personal and cost-efficient service to their clients in this environment. Through their extensive networks built up over many years of practice, they can rapidly establish an international team of legal specialists to accomplish complex assignments in many jurisdictions.
Personalized service
The partners of VVGB enjoy practicing law. Rather than spending time on managing a large organization, they prefer to spend time with their clients. The partners become personally involved in client matters, whenever possible work with only a small group of associates, and remain available for substantive discussions with their clients.
Cost-effective solutions
The partners of VVGB recognize that clients not only expect top notch legal services but also cost-efficiency, especially in the current economic climate. VVGB is committed to achieving cost-efficiency through a reasonable rate structure, staffing cases with an effective number of lawyers, and watching out over expenses.
Client loyalty
Our clients also appreciate our loyalty. Contrary to their experiences with other, bigger firms, our clients run a minimal risk of conflicts of interest when entrusting their work to VVGB. |
