ASTREA CVBA
In addition to handling work in the private equity space, ASTREA‘s transactional practice advises on strategic M&A in a wide array of sectors, with a particularly established base of media and automotive clients. The team’s portfolio of M&A work includes real estate transactions, start-up and scale-up investments, and cross-border deals. Frédéric Verspreeuwen, who advises on governance and litigation matters in addition to transactional work, co-leads the practice with private equity and venture capital expert Micha Van den Abeele and corporate finance specialist Dieter Veestraeten. Former practice co-head Steven De Schrijver left the team in late 2022.
