The new office will be led by RelianceLittler partners Edward Carlier and Koen de Bisschop, adding to its locations in Brussels and Mechelen. The Belgian firm joined Littler’s global platform in 2018. Of the decision to open an office in Ghent, de Bisschop commented: “We want to be close to the main business hubs in Belgium, which include the Antwerp region, covered by our Mechelen office, Brussels and the Ghent-Kortrijk area. Even though Belgium is a small country, there are strong regional differences and we believe that being close to our clients provides an added value and corresponds to our clients' expectations. We are also convinced that this model fits well with the modern way of working that combines flexibility and easily accessible workspaces.” De Bisschop has registered with the Ghent bar and will focus on developing the firm’s office there.
