2. Legal profession as a regulated profession

The title “lawyer” is regulated in Belgium. The lawyers of Flamend & Partners are registered with the competent Belgian bar as stated on their profile page. The office works in particular with lawyers who belong to the Dutch Bar Association at the Brussels Bar.

The Belgian legal rules, the regulations of the relevant bar and the Codex of Deontology for Lawyers apply to their professional practice. More information about the professional rules and competent authorities can be found viaAdvocaat.be andBrussels Bar.

The professional liability of lawyers is insured in accordance with the applicable legal and ethical requirements. Further information about the coverage can be provided when relevant for a specific assignment.

3. General information, not personal advice

The website contains general information about Belgian legal areas, procedures and possible points of interest. It is intended to make topics understandable and to indicate when timely personal advice can be useful.

The content is not legal advice for your specific situation. A legal answer depends on all facts, documents, deadlines, competent authorities and the current state of the law. Do not act or refrain from acting solely on the basis of this website.

For urgent deadlines, a hearing, summons, service or decision, please contact a lawyer directly. A web page or automatic receipt message does not suspend or extend any legal, judicial, administrative or contractual period.

4. When does an attorney-client relationship arise?

Visiting the website, downloading information, submitting a form, scheduling an appointment or sending an email does not in itself create an attorney-client relationship. The firm must be able to assess, among other things, the nature of the assignment, possible conflicts of interest, competence, availability and conditions.

An order only exists after Flamend & Partners has expressly accepted it and the necessary agreements have been confirmed. Until then, you should not assume that the office will monitor a deadline, conduct proceedings or represent your interests. An automatic message is only a technical acknowledgment of receipt.

Do not send original or highly confidential documents until an appropriate channel and acceptance of the assignment have been confirmed. This does not affect legal and deontological confidentiality obligations for information that a lawyer receives in a professional capacity.

5. Accuracy, completeness and topicality

Flamend & Partners compiles the website with care, but legislation, case law, administrative practice, amounts, procedures and deadlines may change. Summary web information cannot fully display exceptions or transition rules. Publication dates or an “updated” indication indicate when content was last substantively reviewed, not that it remains permanently up to date.

We make no representation that each page is complete, error-free, fit for any particular purpose or applicable in any other country or jurisdiction. A reference to a possible outcome, line of defense or procedure is not a guarantee of an outcome. Previous cases or general examples do not predict results in a new case.

6. Limits of liability

To the extent permitted by mandatory law, Flamend & Partners is not liable for damages arising solely from the general use of, reliance on or temporary unavailability of this website, nor for decisions taken on the basis of the website without individual legal advice.

Nothing in this disclaimer limits liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory law, including liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, harm to life or physical integrity due to an error, or other cases for which the law prohibits a limitation. The separately agreed conditions and applicable professional rules apply to an expressly accepted assignment.

7. External links and services

The website may refer to legislation, case law, professional organizations, government websites, Google Maps, Google Calendar or other external sources. A link is for convenience only and does not imply an endorsement, partnership or warranty about the content, availability, security or privacy practices of that third party.

External websites may change without our knowledge. Please check important information with the official source. We request permission in advance for embedded Google services; more information is in itcookie policy. The processing of personal data is explained in theprivacy policy.

8. Intellectual Property and Permitted Uses

Unless otherwise stated, the website, texts, structure, design, logos, photos, illustrations and other original materials belong to Flamend & Partners or are used with permission. They are protected by copyright, trademark and other applicable rights.

You may view, print or store pages for your personal, non-commercial use provided that the source is acknowledged. Systematic reproduction, database inclusion, commercial distribution, republication, modification, framing, scraping for reuse or use of trademark and image material requires prior written permission, except where the law expressly provides otherwise.

A normal hyperlink to a public page is permitted if it does not misrepresent Flamend & Partners and does not suggest that a recommendation or collaboration exists.

9. Availability and digital security

We may maintain, modify, move or discontinue the website, features or content at any time. We strive for reasonable security and continuity, but cannot guarantee that the website will always be available uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components.

Also protect your own device and monitor unexpected payment or data requests. Flamend & Partners will not have a change in bank details or an unusual payment instruction verified solely via an unexpected email. If in doubt, please contact us by telephone at the number on this website.

10. Applicable law, competent court and contact

Belgian law applies to this website and this disclaimer. Without prejudice to mandatory rules on jurisdiction and consumer protection, disputes regarding the mere use of the website fall within the jurisdiction of the courts of the judicial district of Brussels.

If any provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Failure to immediately invoke a right does not constitute a waiver of that right.
