- ‘The CMS Brussels Employment team is exceptionally knowledgeable and world-class. The partners and associates not only perform the employment services with a high degree of sophistication, but they also take the time to teach and explain how Belgian law is applied in each situation. They are interested in ensuring our team is knowledgeable and independent. In addition, it’s nice to see and work with diversity, and CMS embodies this.’
- ‘The CMS Brussels Employment team is accessible when we have urgent matters and they grasp the issues very quickly. The employment laws in the transport industry, including the labour issues, are very complex. I can rely on CMS to assist our legal team with these matters and meet the timelines. The lawyers in the Employment practice are personable and easy to work with. As a result, we use CMS for employment, commercial and other legal matters.’
