“In the five years since I joined DLA Piper, I’ve developed in my role as an Associate in the Finance, Projects and Restructuring practice group, and studied for an MBA.
I love the amount of knowledge I’ve gained from my colleagues both professionally and personally, as well as the good working environment.”

“My role involves managing transactions for clients, as well as managing the teams working on the transactions I’m responsible for. The biggest attraction for me was the opportunity to be part of the team that set up a new office and playing a role in the development of DLA Piper and its culture.
The environment that we have built so far, coupled with the environment in the global firm where collegiality is key, is one of the main reasons that make me see myself at DLA Piper for a long time to come. DLA Piper is a people-centric organisation, and that’s a key consideration for me.”

“I was attracted to DLA Piper because it was a genuinely international firm compared to the firm I used to work at, which was an independent national firm. I took up the challenge and consider it one of the better decisions I have taken in my professional life.
I have helped build out one of the leading banking practices in the Belgian market, was made up partner in 2012 and I am fortunate today to have such a great team to work with on challenging transactions for great clients who value what we bring to them.”
