The real estate and construction team at Schoups is ‘extremely dedicated, accurate, and to the point’. A leading player in construction, the firm recently acted for Constructiebedrijf Ivens, the leading Belgium-based tank construction company, on a project in the state-of-the-art tank terminal in Rotterdam. Ewoud Willaert led that matter. ‘Accurate and sharp’ practice head Marco Schoups and Els Op de Beeck are key figures in litigation, while Kris Lemmens for public procurement and PPP work and Maarten Somers for projects work are highly recommended.

‘What is unique about Schoups advocaten is the thoroughness with which they work. A question is always fully answered and this from all possible perspectives (arguments pro and contra). For us as a client, this means that we are never faced with surprises in a dispute after receiving advice from this firm. Moreover, I can see that in this office the mentality is very clearly present to approach each client cordially, but professionally. The threshold to seek advice is very low. Without any hesitation, members of this team will call me if I have a short question via email or LinkedIn. ’
‘Marco Schoups has to be the most brilliant mind I have come across. He is our top teacher: every class taught by him sells out. The reviews are always blazing. In addition, it is a pleasure to hear him argue in court. He knows the gift of the word and knows how to get the court's attention on the crucial points of his story. His persuasiveness follows on the one hand from his knowledge and on the other from his calm and controlled way of speaking. Finally, you can tell that Marco loves his job. Whether as a lawyer, teacher or mediator, he fulfills each role with a positive energy that enthuses those around him.’
