How we can help

Business contracts

Having the right legal framework in place can help you make the most of business opportunities. Accuracy and precision in your contracts are key to clearly defining rights and obligations and to laying the foundations for successful business relationships.

Corporate law

PwC Legal will help you set up, steer, manage and (re)structure your organisation worldwide. Whether in a local or cross-border context, our PwC Legal team of corporate structuring specialists can advise you and assist all types of organisations in complying with their business needs and obligations, locally and internationally.

Data protection and privacy

The increase in global data protection and privacy regulations and the awareness of the public and the media on data exchange and data ownership are creating new challenges and opportunities that will impact your business. To protect your assets and your investment, your data needs to be appropriately managed, valued and secured.

Intellectual property

In a knowledge-driven economy, safeguarding your organisation’s intellectual property (IP) rights is essential. The success of your organisation could be at stake. Our multidisciplinary team of legal experts will help you optimise your IP protection strategy, leveraging our cross-departmental and international network of specialists when required.

International business reorganisations

In a fast-changing global marketplace, structural and business flexibility has become a competitive necessity for large organisations. Any business undertaking any structuring change, for whatever reason, must be alert to the legal risks involved in that change.

Mergers and acquisitions

The right advice on an M&A transaction can make the difference between success and failure. Our legal support includes the assessment of the legal risks, legal expertise at the negotiating table and in drafting transactional or restructuring documents. We have your interests covered and to help maximise the advantages while mitigating risk.

Not-for-profit

Sustainability and corporate social responsibility are playing an increasingly important role in doing business, giving rise to new business models. PwC Legal will work with you to design, optimise or restructure your organisation, within this new legal context. We will establish a solid legal framework specific to your long-term goals.

Real estate

We advise Belgian and foreign Real Estate Investment Trusts on all types of real estate transactions and related matters. Our real estate expert lawyers guide you through the full cycle of your real estate project including acquisition and disposal of property, permits and licenses, financing and project development.

Scale-ups and start-ups

Start-ups often need to collaborate and partner with corporations for their business models to function. As they grow, they must ensure their legal needs and obligations are covered. We support start-ups by providing them with legal advice in relation to all matters at each stage of their development, as well as helping them scale up their business.
