Sébastien de Callataÿ

Sr. Counsel | KPMG Law

As transactional lawyer, I really enjoy the variety of the work I do. Each new transaction brings new challenges, interesting cases and often new people too. In addition each transaction is a project and it is extremely rewarding to be involved from an early stage until completion.

How can I help

I have strong experience and expertise in real estate and real estate transactional work and, in particular, in assisting foreign investors or lenders with their Belgian transactions. I am always looking to find solutions to get the deal done, as illustrated by the following quote of the Legal 500: Sébastien de Callataÿ (next generation lawyer) is a hardworking and very diplomatic dealmaker who drives things forward.
