About

The IB LEGAL firm was created as a result of a meeting of established professionals in their respective fields of expertise and with solid roots in the Italian and Belgian communities of Brussels, with the aim of providing high quality legal services.

The vast experience gained in the various jurisdictions allows us to offer assistance tailored to the specific needs of the customer, whether they are related to production and work activities, or more closely connected to personal events and family life, including any aspects of criminal relevance.

The firm’s Italian Desk is particularly attentive to the needs of customers investing in Belgium and companies wishing to expand their business in Italy.
Alongside consultancy in Italian and Belgian law and legal representation before national courts, the firm – thanks to its international vocation – is able to offer assistance to companies in EU law matters.

Thanks to the many years of experience gained in the sector, a central position in the offer of services of the firm is represented by assistance to EU staff in disputes relating to the employment relationship and in general in cases that must be put before the Court of Justice of the Union.

Unique in Belgium, the firm, through its network, is able to offer consultancy and advocacy activities before the ecclesiastical courts in disputes concerning the annulment of religious marriage with civil effects.
