Working together in a genuine partnership with my clients is what I stand for.

Leila started her professional career in 2010 as a member of the Bar of Dendermonde and specialized in commercial law and insolvency law at a law firm.

In 2013, Leila joined Peeters Law and focused on insolvency law, employment law, and social security law.

Following the merger of Peeters Law with Koen de Puydt and his team in 2019, Leila was appointed partner at Seeds of Law, which has since 2024 become Andersen in Belgium.

Within the commercial and economic law unit, she is responsible for insolvency law files. She has built up many years of experience in dealing with distressed companies, including more specifically bankruptcy and continuity of companies (judicial reorganisation procedure).

Leila also has extensive expertise in employment law.
She mainly advises her clients in many areas, in particular:

  • Individual & collective labour law
  • Well-being & privacy at work,
  • International employment,
  • Business immigration,
  • and Reorganisations.
