Our firm

Dilaw was founded in 1994 by several lawyers with years of practical experience, including Steven Boeynaems. Over the years, the firm has been strengthened with young, ambitious professionals. In 2016, lawyer and insolvency practitioner Christiaan Hendrickx and his firm joined the association.

In 2025, insolvency practitioner Stefanie Hens also joined the Dilaw team. This means that no fewer than five insolvency specialists, both individually and as a team, are currently active at Dilaw! Insolvency law has therefore become a well-known specialty of the firm.

Since 2026, insolvency practitioner Katrien Teughels has also been part of Dilaw.

Dilaw also offers a comprehensive legal service package, focused on both businesses and individuals seeking legal assistance.

As a result, the firm has become the preferred lawyer for numerous SMEs and private individuals. Dilaw has approximately ten lawyers nationwide, each familiar with one or more specific areas of law. They also have access to five logistics staff members and an accountant. Where necessary, assistance can be provided by the Proteus network of no fewer than 200 lawyers across Europe. Where necessary, tailored teams are formed to the client's needs, combining experience and specific knowledge across various practice areas.

Our philosophy is based on close yet flexible collaboration with the client. Regular reporting and a transparent fee system enable us to efficiently help clients achieve their goals.

Vision and strategy

Our firm is your best guarantee for a serious, transparent and diligent handling of your cases.

Bringing a dispute to a satisfactory conclusion requires fluid and direct communication between the client and his or her counsel on the one hand, and specialised knowledge on the other hand, integrating the latest legal and jurisprudential developments.

DILAW tracks these two areas with the closest possible attention. Each case shall be followed up systematically by your designated counsel, who will act as your preferred point of contact, and who will at all times be available to you for any inquiries or requests for clarification you may have.

Furthermore, each lawyer at DILAW undertakes to stay abreast of all developments in his or her chosen fields of expertise. Each lawyer scrupulously follows up on legislation and case law in these areas, and takes part in training programs and refresher courses. This combination of direct communication and specialised knowledge will at all times guarantee our clients the best results, and shall, as practice has shown, lead to years of satisfactory collaboration.
