Last Friday, our competition partner Sebastien Engelen and dispute resolution associate Marie-Julie Kormoss were invited for the second year in a row to give a guest lecture to law students at KU Leuven on “the implications of 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞 for lawyers and in-house counsels”.

This year’s session focused on the 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐰, using case-based examples to make the topic more concrete and relatable. Together with the students, we explored how legal professional privilege applies during dawn raids and the ethical challenges lawyers and in-house counsels may face.

A heartfelt thank you to Professor Françoise Auvray for providing this opportunity once again, and to the students for their enthusiastic participation!
