Meet Evi Haelterman, one of the driving forces behind our Management Assistant team 🙌
 
💼 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘦?
For Evi, it’s all about variety. The mix of tasks and the fact that no two days are ever alike make her job both challenging and genuinely fun.
 
⚡ 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘺?
Those small moments in between. A chat with colleagues during lunch or a quick catch‑up during the day is what keeps her energy levels up.
 
🌿 𝘖𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬…
Evi loves spending quality time with her children and partner, catching up with friends, and enjoying the outdoors. When the sun is out, you’ll often find her outside with a good book in hand 📖☀️
 
Today, and every day, we celebrate the people who keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
 
Thank you, Evi, for everything you do!

Yesterday, 23 Lydianites proudly laced up their running shoes and joined the vibrant atmosphere of the 20km of Brussels for the Legal Run event.

It was a privilege to stand shoulder to shoulder with fellow law firms in Brussels, running and walking together in support of a meaningful cause.

This year, our collective efforts supported Villa Rozerood, a remarkable organisation that offers families with seriously ill children and young people a place to rest, recharge, and receive tailored care in a supportive environment.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who took part in this inspiring day — especially our motivated runners and walkers: Maxime Abraham, Evelien Alaerts, Thibault Boscart, Liesbet Claessen, Jurgen De Vreese, Evelien De Greef, Manon Depondt, Muriel Deneys, Dimitri Duwaerts, Sean Fagnoul, Olivia Garcia Del Pino, Lennart Hoflack, Liese Kuyken, Valérie LEROY, Julia Popova, Estelle Renard, Hawa Sanou, Brigitte Thonus, Alysson Torfs, Glenn Vancauwenberghs, Willem Vaes, Jo Willems and Sakina Yoshioka.

Your energy, commitment and team spirit were truly inspiring 💙

With Brussels at the heart of Europe, Belgium stands out as one of the countries with the highest number of seconded workers compared to its neighbours. But what does this mean for employers and employees navigating Belgian employment law? ⚖️

In our podcast’s 23rd episode, Kato Aerts, our host and Employment Partner, teams up with Alexandra Stoica, Associate in our Employment team, to tackle key questions such as:

What are the key rules for working and residing in Belgium?
How does Belgium accommodate workers from the EEA and third countries?
What are the different types of permits (European Blue Card, single permit, etc.)?

Let’s continue navigating the world of employment law together! 🚀
