Legal 500 2022

The Legal 500 has published its 2022 EMEA rankings. Aurion's not-for-profit & social profit group is ranked in Tier 1 of the not-for-profit category in Belgium. This means that Aurion is considered by The Legal 500 as one of the top law firms in Belgium in this sector.

Evelyne Maes and Jurgen Goyvaerts also received laudatory reviews for their expertise in anti-discrimination law and employment law.

We are very pleased with this recognition because it confirms the trust of our clients and the market in the expertise and services of Aurion.

We would especially like to thank our clients and partners for their positive feedback, as the ranking is based on their input and comments.

The Legal 500 2022 mentions, amongst others:

"The not-for-profit practice works with a formidable, varied roster of high-profile domestic and European organisations, including philanthropic funds, foundations, NGOs, impact investors, universities, and political parties. The team is capable of handling the full gamut of contentious and non-contentious matters, while the team increasingly advises on the creation of hybrid business structures, and the burgeoning use of alternative financing models within the sector. The team is jointly led by Sarah Verschaeve, an experienced cross-border transactional specialist; and Yvette Verleisdonk, a social impact bond expert with decades of experience advising impact investors and social enterprises. Lisa Bueken and Sander Meert are also noted.”

“Highest level of services. Leader in non-profit association law facilitation in Belgium.”

“In the past year we have mainly worked with Evelyne Maes and Jurgen Goyvaerts. They both stand out because of their intelligence, insight in law, jurisdiction and the procedures. They are both very communicative and easily accessible.’’

Yvette Verleisdonk is listed as 'leading individual'; Sarah Verschaeve as 'next generation partner' and Evelyne Maes is ‘recommended’.

The recognition inspires us to continue to do our best to assist our clients in the best possible way.
