Since it was founded in 1945, Dewit Law Office has remained a human-sized firm and has always been careful to personalise all contact with its customers.
Its strength lies in the diversity of its members. Dewit Law Office consists of lawyers working full-time internally, dealing with many cases in various subjects, in all the judicial districts of the country.
This team is supported daily by a legal assistant, three secretaries as well as several outside lawyers from different bars of the country.
The firm also has permanent correspondents in Asia (China, Thailand, Hong Kong,…) as well as in most countries of the European Union.
The multilingual, multicultural and multidisciplinary team allows the files, of whatever subject, to be treated in French, Dutch, English and Chinese.
Whether you are an individual or a professional (commercial companies, insurance companies and public authorities), our goal is to provide you with legal assistance tailored to your needs.

A number of Dewit Law Office associates are dedicated to corporate law. In this context, we assist both companies and non-profit organisations, through professional advice and efficient representation of your interests in any disputes that may arise.
The many years of experience of Mr Bernard Dewit in China have allowed our firm to develop special expertise in assisting Chinese businessmen active in Belgium and representing the interests of European companies wishing to become established in China.
Among other examples, we can assist you in the following steps:
Judicial proceedings are sometimes long and costly. Faced with this, several alternative procedures exist, including mediation and arbitration.
These procedures allow parties to the dispute to put an end to their dispute, with the help of a neutral third party, without going before the Courts and Tribunals.
Mediation can therefore be exercised in many areas, including family law, social law, civil law, commercial law, etc.
As Mr DEWIT is a certified mediator for civil and commercial matters, he intends to promote this method of amicable dispute resolution.
Payment arrears are becoming increasingly important and creditors are left in debt to recalcitrant debtors. The firm assists you in the steps to be taken if you have to deal with unpaid amounts or invoices, whether this is in the context of a pre-litigation phase (letter of formal notice, negotiation, payment plan, …) only in the context of the contentious (judicial procedure) and post-litigation (bailiff, various seizures, …) phases.
This matter is of crucial importance for any activity that it is exercised by a company or a natural person.
Whether you are victims (civil party) or pre-trial, we are able to assist you in hearings before the criminal courts. In this respect, we will accompany you throughout the procedure, from the hearing before the police to the appearances before the competent jurisdictions.
