ALTIUS Rethinks its Employment Service Offering, Welcomes Philippe De Wulf and Becomes "3D"
October, 2011 - Brussels, Belgium
ALTIUS has rethought the objective of its employment law team and welcomes Philippe De Wulf as new Partner on 1st October, in what is now called the "3D Employment Team".
"Nowadays clients want rapid and concise advice and, even more than in the past, expect their employment lawyers to assist them in strategic decisions such as how to deal with dismissals, strikes, the introduction of a bonus plan or litigation with former employees", observes Sylvie Dubois, Partner at ALTIUS and Head of the 3D Employment Team.
" In order to meet these needs, clients need experienced lawyers, who can provide assistance without substantially increasing their legal costs", continues Sven Demeulemeester, Partner at ALTIUS and a member of the 3D Employment Team.
At ALTIUS, we have therefore changed our client offering, to satisfy the need for an even more horizontal and Partner-driven organisation, with Partners specialised both in certain industry sectors and also in certain areas of expertise, so that they can act as the first and main point of contact for clients, backed by teams of top-quality Associates working in tandem with the Partners.
We call this our "3D" offering
"3D" summarises the way we want to do business and assist our clients:
- dedicated, experienced partners
- down-to-earth, specialised advice
- direct contact lines to achieve cost and time savings
and shows the "extra dimensions" we want to give our work:
- in depth: top-quality advice
- in width: extensive experience
- in length: long-term, sustainable client relationships
Sylvie Dubois continues " Philippe De Wulf rejoining ALTIUS, contributes to making the delivery of 3D services to our clients possible. Philippe has considerable experience of cross-border employment situations and is widely recognised as an experienced litigator. His experience complements the existing niche practices within the 3D Employment team and widens the range of services we can offer our clients. Philippe's client-driven approach and high quality work makes him the perfect fit for the "3D offering".
"Having worked for top tier international law firms, I am delighted to be able to return to ALTIUS, where I spent some of the most exciting years of my legal career. I am looking forward to working closely with Sylvie and Sven to boost the 3D dimension of the reshaped Employment Team", said Philippe De Wulf.
