Expertise: AREAS OF EXCELLENCE
Where several legal fields intersect
Taxation, intellectual property, GDPR, and AI are no longer handled in silos. My value lies in bringing them together, with verified sources and clear writing.
01 | Taxation
Belgian and European Taxation
Corporate income tax, personal income tax, non-resident income tax, legal entity tax, VAT, registration and inheritance duties. Claims, conciliation, and litigation before the Court of First Instance and the Court of Appeal.
My approach is consistent: optimize, never conceal. The line is drawn by two criteria – real economic substance, and de facto transparency: declare, document, and be able to explain everything to the tax authorities. I refuse black-box schemes. More than 90% of my cases are settled amicably with the FPS Finance.
What I handle
- Corporate income tax, personal income tax, non-resident income tax, and legal entity tax
- VAT: formalism, controls, regularizations
- Registration and inheritance duties
- Claims, tax conciliation, litigation before the Court of First Instance & Court of Appeal
- 3Q+O Method: Where? Which tax? Which income? Who bears the costs?
02 | INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Copyright & taxation of creation
Copyright is the most powerful tax tool for employees, freelancers, and executives who also engage in creative activities, artists, and consultants: a right, not an abuse.
Remuneration for creation deserves a distinct status from salaried employment.
Reformed regime 2022-2026, indexed ceiling, 30% ratio, arts work certificate, reintegration of the IT sector. I assist with qualification, drafting assignments, and securing structuring and valuations, documented to withstand scrutiny.
My services
- Qualification of work / originality (CDE Book XI)
- (Con)cession and license agreements
- Optimization of the 15% regime and ceilings
- Arts work certificate
- Defense in case of tax audit
03 | PERSONAL DATA
GDPR & data protection
Six years (2019-2025) as a bilingual member of the Litigation Chamber of the Data Protection Authority: several hundred decisions, the reflex for reasoned decisions and European dialogue.
GDPR does not start with “asking for permission.” It starts with qualifying the processing and choosing the correct legal basis. Impact analysis is not a checkbox: it is governance. After Schrems II, no transfers without genuinely verified supplementary measures.
My services
- Legal bases, registers, policies, and procedures
- DPIA / AIAs conducted as true governance
- International transfers (SCCs, supplementary measures)
- Breach notification, relations with the DPA
- Training for DPOs and teams
04 | TECHNOLOGY
Regulation of Artificial Intelligence
AI must serve humanity, never the other way around. It enhances capabilities but does not solely decide on issues affecting fundamental rights.
AI Act 2024/1689, FRIA, GDPR Article 22, governance of training data, lawyer-AI ethics, Vilnius Framework Convention, product liability (Directive 2024/2853). Certified AI Black Belt since 2019, I help organizations map their uses before the August 2, 2026 deadline.
My services
- Mapping AI systems & risk classification
- AI Act compliance and articulation with GDPR
- FRIA: fundamental rights impact assessment
- Algorithmic transparency & governance
- AI ethics for lawyers and professions
05 | NON-PROFIT SECTOR
ASBLs Foundations & companies
An ASBL (non-profit association) deserves the same rigor as a company: numbered minutes, written deliberations, documented governance. Non-profit status does not excuse improvisation. Directors remain personally liable.
Companies and Associations Code, governance, mandate agreements, legal and tax audit, structuring of groups and mixed funding (public, private, partnerships). Author of a reference treatise on ASBLs, AISBLs, and foundations, and private and public utility foundations.
My services
- Formation & CSA compliance
- Governance, statutes, mandate agreements
- Taxation of the non-profit sector
- Mixed funding & justification of subsidies
- Directors' liability
