Cross-border Growth Liedekerke has a proven track record supporting growth and complexity management across Belgium and Africa, with offices in Brussels, Antwerp, London, Kinshasa and Kigali. This positions them well to pursue cross-border work for clients expanding into Africa or integrating Belgian and African operations.

Africa niche The firm emphasizes niche expertise in Africa, including OHADA law, Rwandan law and international public law, reinforced by networks like Lex Mundi and Energy Law Group. This suggests opportunities to upsell Africa-focused regulatory, tax, and cross-border advisory services to international and African-focused clients.

Strategic hires Recent appointments, including an Of Counsel with ISC background and a new Tax Practice Partner, indicate active expansion of capabilities in regulatory, investment screening, and tax advisory—areas ripe for cross-sell to clients facing new compliance, investment, or restructuring needs.

Key client signals Publicized engagement with Colruyt Group and participation in major arbitration events signal relationships with large, strategic clients and active involvement in cross-border disputes and mergers. This opens opportunities to expand scope with these accounts (e.g., advisory, compliance, dispute resolution, and tax optimization).

Sustainability & sectors Top-tier recognition in Environment, Energy, and Real Estate and Construction, combined with sector-focused advisory capabilities, presents a clear avenue to propose integrated legal and regulatory solutions for clients pursuing sustainability-driven projects and energy investments in Belgium and Africa.
