TLT enters alliance with Belgian practice GSJ

UK law firm TLT has entered into a strategic alliance with Belgian practice GSJ advocaten as it continues to strengthen its international links.

The firms have a common focus on sectors including real estate, financial services, retail and the public sector, enabling cross border support for clients operating in the UK and Belgium. Belgium’s status at the heart of the EU and as a central hub for European business will also be of increasing importance for clients, following the UK’s exit from the EU.

The alliance with GSJ expands TLT's formal strategic alliance with Netherlands law firm Holla, opened in June 2020. It plans to develop further links in key European countries, the US and India as part of its growth strategy.

Chris Owen, head of international commented: “TLT and GSJ have significant crossovers and a shared focus on key sectors such as financial services, retail, and real estate. Given Belgium’s role as a critical commercial jurisdiction at the heart of the EU political infrastructure, it is of growing strategic importance to many clients operating across the EU and around the world. Alongside Holla in the Netherlands, this will ensure that all three firms can support clients’ growing international needs on a seamless basis and will be well placed to support on their complex, cross-jurisdictional needs.”
