Established in 1945, Dewit Law Office has always maintained a close relationship with its clients. A team of thirteen lawyers and four secretaries, supported by a small group of additional external staff, process a number of cases dealing with a variety of issues from all domestic judicial districts. DLO has permanent correspondents based in East-Asia and a network of correspondents throughout the European Union. Bernard Dewit’s interest in China and 27 yearlong involvement in Chinese business, have helped him to gain the necessary experience to both understand and facilitate Chinese investments in Europe and vice versa. Having forged close ties with Chinese law firms in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Hong Kong, Dewit Law Office is the first Belgian law firm to have obtained a license to open a Representative Office in Beijing, with a branch in Chengdu to cover Western China. Thanks to our presence in both the heart of Europe and in the heart of China, we are able to provide 24 hour, round-the-clock support to our clients. The main strength of Dewit Law Office is its line-up of multilingual, multicultural and multidisciplinary team members. Cases can be processed in French, Dutch, English and Chinese.
