Boutique real estate firm Hemwood assists clients with civil law-related real estate matters and stands out for its skills in environmental and planning matters. The firm has recently been strengthened by the addition of notary Monique Laenen as practice head, who joined the firm in September 2022 from DLA Piper. The arrival of Laenen and her team has enabled the practice to expand its offering to include notarial services alongside its traditional real estate offering. Eefje Van Bommel handles redevelopment cases, while Sonja Van Der Kamp works on commercial leasing and real estate transactions. Gijs Heutink is the go-to for area developments and transactions, and lease law expert Niels Van Tamelen is also experienced in litigation.
