Specialisms

Filip in his own words

‘For knowledge you must have a desire and habit of learning. Along with knowledge, learning makes one humble.’ (Anil Sinha)

Committed to providing clients with the best possible service, I offer pragmatic legal advice and draft tailor-made construction contracts for the establishment and implementation of domestic and international construction projects, both in a private law context and for PPP-DBFM procedures.

At COTTYN, the multidisciplinary legal approach provides a qualitative added value, where I can put my experience at the service of clients.
