All lawyers working at Portico practise as independent professionals.
They are authorised to practise under the title of “avocat”/“advocaat” in Belgium and are members of the Brussels Bar, either of the Dutch-speaking or the French-speaking Bar.
This means that each lawyer is bound by the professional ethics rules governing the profession. These rules can be consulted at www.avocat.be (French) and www.advocaat.be (Dutch).
In the event of a dispute regarding costs and/or fees, the Brussels Bar provides a mediation procedure. It is free of charge and takes place on a voluntary and confidential basis. Complaints can be submitted to the Ombudsman service. All relevant information is available on the Ombudsman’s website (oca.ligeca.be/nl or oca.ligeca.be/fr).
