International Associations

Located at the center of Europe, Belgium is an attractive location for international associations. Advising international associations belongs to the core domains of expertise of the lawyers of Aurion. 

In addition to classic not-for-profit law questions, we advise international associations on, among other things:

• (cross-border) transfers of registered office and relocation of activities from abroad (EU and non-EU)

• establishment of branches and establishment units 

• the organisation of general meetings and meetings of the board of directors abroad 

• the employment and remuneration of executive directors and staff

• the secondment of staff from abroad 

• taxation of the Belgian branch, in cooperation with specialised tax experts 

• optimisation of governance models 

• conflicts of interest

Where necessary, we cooperate with lawyers in foreign jurisdictions. Aurion has an extensive network of foreign law firms with which it regularly cooperates.
