The Ulys touch
There are a vast number of French firms with partners in Brussels.
Equally there are many Belgium firms that have representatives in Paris.
Ulys however is different: a genuine Franco-Belgian organization from the onset, Ulys has Franco-Belgian business written in its DNA.
Businesses working in both countries know that the French and Belgian systems are similar but not identical. This proximity brings both pros and cons which must be taken into account: what is needed is someone who is equally competent in both legal systems, rather than having to send documents from Belgian lawyers to their Parisian counterparts.
Thanks to Ulys, Franco-Belgian businesses have a single point of contact for both countries, in advice but also in litigation.
