About us

Caluwaerts Uytterhoeven Lawyers (‘Legal Office BV’) was founded in 2001 by Mr. Kristiaan Caluwaerts and Prof. Dr. Kristof Uytterhoeven, who have worked together as lawyers since 1993. Since July 2021, Caluwaerts Uytterhoeven Lawyers has continued under the name ‘Caluwaerts Uytterhoeven BV’.

Caluwaerts Uytterhoeven Lawyers 

Over the years, the two founders have surrounded themselves with highly skilled partners and associates. Our firm now has an interdisciplinary team of almost 50 multilingual lawyers, with in-depth expertise in various professional fields. We also have an extensive back office to support the lawyers. 

Our team

Dedicated legal services 

Our clientele consists mainly of (inter)national companies, entrepreneurs and government institutions. However, we are also at the service of individuals who need thorough legal guidance in our areas of expertise.

  • Your firm has mastered great expertise to gain in-depth insights into difficult files and with exceptional issues, with as special circumstances: public procurement with public support, architectural services commissioned by a public administration to guide and assess a study service within the sector of restoration of monuments. You have processed the acquired insights into very clear, structured and comprehensive texts with witty and adequate legal input and framework.

    Belgian private person

  • Thank you for preparing the draft notices of appeal, incorporating our comments and submitting them. Also thanks for the in depth knowledge of the issues and the grounds for refusal, within the short deadline we were given. The cooperation was smooth and good.

    Belgian company in the construction sector

  • I insist on thanking you personally (and on behalf of the group) for the wonderful job you have done in recent weeks. The calmness and expertise you exude together with the correct approach to colleagues and to the other party deserves our enormous admiration.

    Belgian company in the transport sector

  • Both privately and professionally, I have relied several times on the services of Caluwaerts Uytterhoeven. This in various matters, both in Belgium and abroad. The cooperation, willingness to listen, feedback and solution-oriented advice are always clear.

    Belgian real estate agent

  • The personal, professional way of working is a real strength of Caluwaerts Uytterhoeven. Not stiff and distant.

    Belgian administrative company

  • We would like to thank you very much for sending us your professional and detailed advice at such short notice. We are aware that the case is quite voluminous and that a thorough review in such a short period of time is certainly not easy. Thank you again for your correct and professional service!

    Belgian consultancy and study company

  • When you called upon our vision/expertise for this dossier, it was always very well prepared. It was clearly stated what we had to respond to, so it didn't take too much time. Moreover, this is not a daily concern for us either and therefore not always obvious. For us, this was the first time we had been guided through a case in this way. It was a pleasant and smooth way of working, for which we are grateful.

    Belgian architectural firm

  • Thanks again for your presence at the meeting. My colleagues are reassured and confirm what I had already communicated, namely that your office is very professional and reliable.

    Italian company in the fashion sector

  • I found the tenacity with which the firm always sought to clarify and substantiate matters objectively, legally and in detail, amazing and particularly appreciated.

    Belgian architectural firm

  • Caluwaerts Uytterhoeven specialises in the matter of litigation. The problem was considered in all its facets and a pragmatic solution was pursued.
