Company description
ALTIUS is an independent Belgian law firm based in Brussels (Tour&Taxis). ALTIUS currently has about 65 lawyers and 25 staff members. We are a full-service law firm and we advise Belgian and international companies on the legal aspects of their businesses, transactions and disputes. Pragmatic, professional and personal, every lawyer brings their own brand of passion and expertise to the job at hand. At ALTIUS, we do legal differently. Going the extra mile and challenging the status quo is the way we work with every colleague, client and business partner. Our service is unique in today’s legal space. Open minds and bold ideas - that’s what makes us so much more than great lawyers.
To strengthen our team, we are currently looking for an associate with 2 to 5 years of experience to join our Banking & Finance Team.

We assist borrowers and lenders with Belgian law matters that concern all types of Belgian and international finance transactions including: acquisition finance, asset finance, project finance, real estate finance, structured finance, syndicated loans and capital markets.
