As part of a concerted growth strategy, the group welcomed senior associate Hannelore Wiame from McDermott Will & Emery Belgium LLP in March 2023. The team then further cemented its bench strength at all levels through the internal promotions of Francesca Miotto and Nele De Backer to partner and senior associate, respectively.
