Our sector focus
Over the years, we have built up specific expertise in a number of specific sectors, which means that we are very familiar with the specific yet very diverse legal issues inherent to these sectors.
Our multidisciplinary teams can support you at any time with legal issues in a wide range of sectors, but over the years we have built up excellent sector-specific knowledge in the following sectors: automotive, fashion & retail, life sciences & healthcare, media, entertainment & sports, petrochemicals, technology, transport & logistics and real estate.
We offer integrated solutions to meet your specific needs and help you achieve your business goals.
International
While Astrea has strong local roots and provides legal support to many Belgian companies at a national, regional and local level, over half of our work involves
an international aspect.
This fact has resulted in us building up an extensive network of personal contacts at foreign law firms over the years, contacts that can assist our clients in international transactions or disputes, starting up foreign companies or commercial activities or advising them on the applicable laws.
This allows us to guarantee international legal support while retaining that personal approach.
Because we have personal contacts with many pre-eminent lawyers based outside of Belgium, and also because of our high standards of quality, pragmatic approach, rapid response time and accessibility, prestigious foreign law firms often refer their own clients to us and we seamlessly cooperate with them to
obtain the best possible result for these clients. We have dealt with a range of major projects that fall under Belgian law or that involve a Belgian angle.
In order to better service German-speaking and French-speaking clients, we have established two foreign desks.
German Desk
Germany is a major trading partner for Belgium in terms of both imports and exports. Trading with or in Germany often means that specific legal questions arise, and Astrea has brought together its expertise in its German Desk in order to deal with these.

French Desk
Astrea has many years of experience when it comes to advising French companies and investors seeking to establish themselves in Belgium, market their products or services in the country or that are embroiled in a dispute with a Belgian company. Astrea created its French Desk in order to provide optimal support to our French clients and correspondent firms.
