VBB in conversation with Global Legal Group
1 min read
Partner Catherine Longeval and associate Malik Aouadi recently spoke with Global Legal Group about key developments in Belgium’s collective action landscape.
Their discussion explores how Belgium compares to its European neighbours, the growing role of third-party funding, and what companies can do to reduce the risk of facing a class action. They also unpack the procedural framework for collective proceedings, including who can – and cannot – act as a representative entity.
The pair will also be attending the Global Class Actions Symposium 2026 in Madrid on 10–11 November 2026, where Cathy will chair the panel on “Class Actions across Europe.”
