International debt collection and debt management

Your client in Belgium does not pay? We are at your disposal with our years of experience in the field of debt collection in Belgium and assert your rights quickly and at reasonable cost out of court, or indeed in court.

As legal systems differ considerably among the countries of Europe, it is sensible to turn to a Belgian law firm like Aps Attorneys, which is highly competent in Belgium.

Commercial Law

Due to the continuing European integration and the internationalisation of economic transactions, you need to deal with a growing interweaving of different national and international legal systems ? especially in the field of commercial law.

Our office is experienced in providing legal support to Belgian and foreign small and medium-sized enterprises for all legal questions concerning their international commercial transactions.

Economic Criminal Law

When participating in international business, you need to be aware of the various national and supra-national regulations and rules. This is most obvious in the fields of environmental protection and fiscal law. Moreover, whenever these different national laws collide − or when national and international laws contradict each other − it’s difficult to know how to act correctly, and a small or medium-sized enterprise can easily find itself embroiled in a criminal investigation procedure.

Building Law

The local markets within the European Union are becoming more and more transparent and open to the cross-border provision of services. Big building companies have been international players for a long time, especially in the field of plant engineering and construction. Today, small and medium-sized enterprises, operating only on a regional level, face international competition (especially in border areas), but they are also taking the opportunity to expand their activities into foreign markets.

Public Procurement

Public procurement is an important sector of the European economy: each year, the European authorities, the member states of the EU, their regions, municipalities and other public corporations award contracts for more than one trillion euro. This is equivalent to 16% of the European Community’s GDP. However, public authorities tend to award their procurement contracts or construction projects to local industry.

Real Estate Law

In regard to international real estate transactions, in particular, we advise buyers, sellers, contractors, architects and other design consultants.

In principle, there are no restrictions on a non-Belgian purchasing property in Belgium. Nevertheless, you should be aware of very important differences between the national legal systems in Europe concerning the transfer of property. There are also differences in the owner’s duty to insure his property.

Renting Property

The rental of commercial or business property accounts for a major portion of a business’s operational costs. Therefore, the leasing of business premises is a common cause of law suits that can endanger the existence of an enterprise. Qualified legal advice in this field is of utmost importance.
