Corporate Team 2025 Wrapped: A Strong Year in Numbers

€152 million in M&A deals

In 2025, our corporate team advised on mergers and acquisitions with a total transaction value of €152,000,000. These figures underline our role as a trusted legal partner in the M&A landscape.

Buyers and sellers

We assisted clients on both sides of the negotiation table:

54% of mandates on the sell-side

46% of mandates on the buy-side

This balanced distribution reflects our broad expertise and deep understanding of the interests of all parties involved.

Asset deals vs. share deals

In terms of transaction structure, we also saw a clear spread:

77% share deals

23% asset deals

Our experience with both structures enables us to provide strategic advice tailored to our clients’ commercial and legal objectives.

Behind these figures lies a clear vision of tailor-made solutions and close collaboration.

Emilie De Baere, Partner and Head of Corporate Law:

“Whether it concerns an acquisition, restructuring or amendment of articles of association, each matter requires a tailored approach. By working closely with our clients, we are able to manage legal risks effectively while maximising opportunities.”

Corporate restructurings & competition law

In addition to M&A, the team handled several corporate restructuring matters in 2025, each aligned with the company’s structure and future plans.

We also assisted clients in one procedure before the Belgian Competition Authority, demonstrating our involvement in complex, market-defining transactions.

Amendments to articles of association under the CAC

Company law continues to evolve. In 2025, we guided 25 amendments to articles of association in line with the new Belgian Companies and Associations Code (CAC), ensuring our clients remain fully compliant with applicable legislation.
