Loyens & Loeff

The employment, pensions and benefits team at Loyens & Loeff provides ‘exceptional’ support to clients across the transport, pharma, and financial services sectors, with particular emphasis on the combination of legal and tax expertise. Its growing experience in transformation and alternative remuneration schemes is a particular stand-out element of the practice, which regularly handles high-profile dismissals, pensions matters, and whistleblowing policies. The team is co-led by Filip Saelens, Kris De Schutter, and Joris Beernaert: Saelens a particular go-to for the employment aspects of cross-border transactions, while De Schutter is recommended for his ’efficient and pragmatic approach’ to restructuring and downsizing operations and Beernaert frequently advises pension providers.
