Civil lawyer in Ghent

Problems arise when a party fails to perform obligations, does not execute an agreement correctly, wishes to terminate, refuses payment or disputes validity.

A lawyer can analyse the agreement and circumstances and assess which rights you can enforce.

Anyone who suffers damage through another’s act or omission may, under conditions, claim compensation.

Key questions: who caused the damage, is there a fault, what damage was suffered, is there a causal link, and which evidence is available?

Disputes between tenant and landlord, and discussions about construction or contracting agreements, require clear analysis of the arrangements and the evidence.

Specialisation: disputes concerning drinking-water bills or meter problems with Farys, De Watergroep, Water-link and Pidpa.

Not every dispute must go to court immediately. Where appropriate, an amicable solution is explored first: analysis, formal notice, correspondence, negotiations or settlement.

Do not wait until shortly before the hearing. Provide the summons as soon as possible so the claim, legal basis, arguments, evidence and deadlines can be assessed.

Disputes concerning (re)construction, contracting agreements, defects and completion can have far-reaching consequences. I assist private individuals and small businesses in construction disputes, from initial advice to proceedings.

I can assist you with collecting outstanding debts, from formal notice to summons and enforcement.

I can also file a request for a collective debt settlement (CDS) on your behalf with the labour court. Please note: I do not act as debt mediator myself in this: that role is filled, once the procedure is admitted, by an appointed debt mediator.

For businesses, I assist with the collection of commercial claims, commercial disputes between businesses, and proceedings in bankruptcy or other insolvency procedures.
