Dutch Brussels Bar
Do you wish to work as a legal professional in Brussels as a member of the Dutch Brussels Bar? Great choice, as Brussels is a multicultural metropolis that is home to leading international organizations and institutions. The Dutch Brussels Bar supports its members in their daily practice, protects their interests, and
bridges the gap between the traditional values of the legal profession and contemporary societal challenges. On this page you will find everything you need to know about registering at the Dutch Brussels Bar, the ethical and professional rules to which you are bound, and insurance policies and social security for lawyers
Did you graduate in law from a foreign university, are you a fully qualified member of a foreign
Bar Association and do you wish to register at the Brussels Bar? You will find all
information and formalities in the Vademecum for European and non-European lawyers.
Foreign lawyers registered on the EU-list are not only subject to the rules of their home Bar, but also to the rules of professional conduct (hereafter: Codex) to which Flemish lawyers registered on the list of trainees or the Tableau are bound (double deontology).
Your annual membership fee of the Brussels Bar includes a number of insurance policies. There are also voluntary insurances not included in the annual Bar fee. In addition, as a lawyer on the EU-list of the Brussels Bar, you are subject to the Belgian social security system.
The VIA (Institute for Continued Education of the Dutch Brussels Bar) is responsible for training lawyers. EU Lawyers are also required to attend 20 hours of continuing professional education each year. VIA organizes seminars throughout the year on various aspects of law and skills of all kinds which enable lawyers to act as professionally as possible.
