LDR is Flanders’ largest law firm active in the field of environmental law. LDR was founded in 1997 by Isabelle Larmuseau and Peter De Smedt, and counts twenty-seven lawyers who each are active within one or more specific fields of environmental law. LDR is characterised by a specific combination of a practice-oriented and scientific approach of the most varied themes relating to environmental law. The law firm has gained its good reputation thanks to its pragmatic approach to various types of procedures in and out of court, but also thanks to its scientific activities in close collaboration with several university institutions as well as its scientific publications, legislation projects and policy-supporting studies.
