An employment law firm is not just a law office that interprets legislation—it is a partner that helps employers navigate the human side of business within the framework of Belgian labour law. In Belgium this is particularly important, because the legal landscape is exceptionally complex: national labour codes interact with regional regulations, while sector-specific collective bargaining agreements and rules issued by joint committees add yet another layer. For employers, this patchwork of rules makes compliance challenging, and that is why relying on a specialist labour law firm like HR Legal is essential. We help companies cut through the complexity and apply the law in a way that is both compliant and workable in practice.
Employers work with us because we don’t hide behind complex theory. As a labour law firm, we deliver advice that is practical, quick and to the point—always focused on solutions that work in reality, not just on paper. Our motto is simple: less ego, less delay, less blabla. That clarity is why both local entrepreneurs and multinationals choose HR Legal as their trusted legal partner.
For many employers, the most pressing challenge is dismissals and restructuring. HR Legal has built a strong reputation in this area, ensuring companies handle terminations and organisational change lawfully and sensitively. Beyond that, our team advises exclusively employers on the full spectrum of labour and employment law: drafting contracts and workplace policies, conducting investigations, implementing whistleblowing frameworks, navigating social inspections, managing litigation, and supporting international employers with a local workforce in Belgium.
Our clients range from Belgian SMEs to household-name global brands. Companies such as Adidas, Levi Strauss and Salomon rely on our team of employment lawyers to protect their HR strategies and safeguard business continuity. Regardless of size or sector, every client receives personal, hands-on support from our experienced lawyers.
We stand out because we combine pragmatic advice with recognised authority in the field. Transparency and diversity are central to our way of working, but we also bring proven expertise acknowledged by international rankings. HR Legal has been named a “Firm to Watch” by Legal 500, while partner Thomas De Jongh was recognised by Who’s Who Legal as the youngest Thought Leader in employment law in Belgium. In addition, Lexology highlights him as a go-to advisor for complex cases. This combination of credibility and practical insight makes our firm a distinctive player in the Belgian labour law market.
