Our Story
Founded in 2012 by Philippe SIMONART, Concordes Law firm has established itself as a reference in Belgium for legal support to stakeholders in the hospitality and tourist accommodation sectors.
In 2026, the Firm was further strengthened through the integration of KMS Partners, founded by Patrick KILESTE, recognized for his expertise in distribution law—particularly in the automotive sector—as well as in corporate and tax law.
Concordes Avocats stands out through an innovative and unique approach in Belgium: a sector-focused specialization, enabling the firm to provide each client with comprehensive, consistent legal support directly aligned with their operational challenges.
Our approach
This sector-focused approach enables Concordes to be the only law firm in Belgium specialized in the hospitality industry and commercial distribution.
Concordes Avocats was built on a simple conviction: the law achieves its full value when it concretely aligns with its clients’ objectives.
We adopt a pragmatic and strategic approach, grounded in a thorough understanding of your business and focused on delivering effective, sustainable solutions tailored to operational realities. At Concordes, purely theoretical reasoning or advice disconnected from practical challenges has no place.
In a context marked by congested courts, we prioritize the efficient use of time and resources. We develop alternative strategies to litigation, while proactively and systematically anticipating the risks and potential impacts of any dispute.
Concordes is the sole Belgian member of the international network of lawyers ADVOC (www.advoc.com), a network whose members are selected based on their extensive expertise and experience in commercial activities in their region.
Our method
Situation Diagnosis
Any effective legal strategy begins with a precise understanding of your context. We immerse ourselves in your economic and operational reality to identify the stakes, constraints, risks, and opportunities. This phase allows us to establish a clear and shared framework.
Route Mapping
Acting in haste undermines legal security. We work with you to build a customized route, defining key steps and possible strategic options. This thoughtful approach ensures solutions that are both effective, secure, and sustainable.
Implementation
A strategy is only valuable if it is executed correctly. Our team implements the defined plan with rigor and agility, remaining by your side throughout the process. We adapt actions to changes in context, unforeseen constraints, and new opportunities, until your objectives are achieved.
