Guest lecture on litigation and arbitration at UCLL

Today, our colleagues Benjamin Magnus, Lise Ryckaert, Cathy Van den Branden and Marthe Wouters gave a ‘litigation & arbitration’ guest lecture to second-year law practice students at UCLL.

Benjamin and Lise guided them through the world of litigation and arbitration, while Cathy and Marthe highlighted the crucial role paralegals play in this process.

A big thank you to Ellen Schiepers and Manou Eyskens for inviting us once again. We have been giving guest lectures at UCLL for several years now, and it is always a pleasure, especially for our paralegals, to return to their campus and share their legal expertise with the next generation.
