Welcome

Are you an independent entrepreneur? Do you represent the interests of a company and would you like legal support? Then you have come to the right place at Alis Advocaten. After all, we would like to become your legal right hand.

Why do you need a legal sidekick?

The business world is changing faster and faster and is becoming more and more complex: clients are becoming more demanding, competition is becoming stronger, legislation is changing and tightening. Entrepreneurs and managers are increasingly confronted with this and therefore need extra support from experts. And preferably proactive rather than reactive. With Alis Advocaten as your legal right hand, you get that much-needed proactive support.

Our offer

Alis Advocaten specialises in three areas: company law, commercial and corporate law, social and labour law. Our services are tailor-made, diverse and flexible. With the highlighted themes, we would like to elaborate on a number of current points of attention. Last but not least: our practical examples deal in greater depth with frequently occurring problems for entrepreneurs. This shows that prevention is still better than cure.

The best way not to end up in such a situation is to schedule an appointment with us. Together we discuss your situation either in our office in Antwerp or at your company and are happy to give you timely, quick and good advice. It is indeed really our ambition to become your legal right hand and we are happy to prove it!

Press here to make an appointment for an exploratory meeting.

What makes us different?

Every lawyer in our firm has relevant expertise and extensive experience, but what really makes us different is this:

- Our working method is atypical, because we first start from the philosophy of the entrepreneur and then from the legal framework;

- We work together and not separately. We regularly discuss the cases together in
order to help entrepreneurs move forward more quickly;

- We really want to be your legal right hand, which is why we think along with you in all areas;

- We are 'almost' always available. If everyone just gives undivided attention to another entrepreneur, we will call you back soon.

From a certain age people regularly have a check-up with their family doctor. There are no complaints, but just to be on the safe side, they want to avoid possible ailments preventively. From the age of 50 it is recommended to do this every five years.

Practical examples

Are you starting a new company as an entrepreneur with a professional partner?

Everything is going well, but it's best to think of times when things would go less well. What if opinions differ? What if one of them wants to get out? What if one of the two dies? Clear agreements at the start avoid the need to start protracted procedures later on.

Your company is profitable, but with one wrong move you turn a one-time loss that threatens the very existence of your company?

You cannot pay certain debts and reminders are piling up. Do not wait until the operation of your company threatens to be paralysed by the high (bailiff's) costs and interests that you have to pay. Perhaps we can find a viable solution.
