van Puyenbroeck lawyers was founded in 2020 by Laurens van Puyenbroeck, in collaboration with Stéphanie Steyaert. The team has since expanded with the addition of several junior lawyers.

Our firm distinguishes itself, on the one hand, through an outstanding practical knowledge of the law, supported by the founder’s long-standing academic career, and, on the other hand, through a strong commitment to society.

The team of lawyers has extensive experience in litigating a wide range of cases before all courts. Several lawyers are certified to represent clients before the Court of Cassation in criminal matters. All lawyers at the firm are certified to assist suspects during police interviews. Some lawyers have received specialized training to assist victims of sexual violence.

The firm’s academic foundation constitutes a unique dimension in the way cases are prepared. Thanks to long-standing contributions to research on various topics such as criminal procedure, defence rights, drug policy, police and judicial cooperation, as well as the publication of numerous academic works, the firm can rely on a genuinely science-based approach in every case.
