De Groote – De Man relocates its Ghent office to UpOffiz: more space for growth and collaboration

More room for expertise, collaboration and impact

What started in 2008 at Ottogracht 28 in Ghent as an ambitious boutique law firm, grew in 2014 into a solid team that moved into the beautiful townhouse at Heernislaan 91 in Ghent. For eleven years, that historic building was our home base: a place where clients gathered around the large table, where case files evolved, where new colleagues began their careers, and where our expertise deepened year after year.

But with growth came new needs. Today, we have more lawyers, more specialisations, and an increasing demand for tailored legal advice. It became increasingly clear: we had outgrown our space. Our trusted townhouse offered warmth and character, but we simply needed more room to strengthen our operations and continue welcoming our clients in an optimal environment.

This relocation is therefore a logical and meaningful next step in our firm’s development. We are choosing an environment that reflects who we are today: dynamic, modern, forward-thinking and ready to continue growing.

“Our growth no longer feels like an ambition on paper, but like a daily reality: more colleagues, more expertise, and a stronger connection with our clients. That evolution made us realise our environment needed to grow with us. This new location gives us the space to collaborate even more effectively as a team and to welcome our clients in a setting that matches the quality and care we strive to offer.
To me, this move feels like a milestone — and a starting point for everything that lies ahead.”
— Ingrid De Poorter, Managing Partner
