Our Story
Founded in 2012 by Me Philippe Simonart, the Concordes Avocats firm has established itself as a reference in Belgium for legal support to actors in the hospitality and tourist accommodation sectors.
In 2026, the firm strengthened itself by integrating KMS Partners, founded by Me Patrick Kileste, recognized for his expertise in distribution law, particularly automotive, corporate law, and tax law.
Concordes Avocats stands out with an innovative and unique approach in Belgium: a specialization by sectors of economic activity, allowing for comprehensive, coherent legal support that is directly aligned with each client's operational challenges.
Our approach
This sector-specific approach makes Concordes the only consultancy firm in Belgium specialising in the hospitality industry and retail sector.
Concordes Avocats is built around a simple conviction: the law finds its full value when it concretely meets the objectives of its clients.
We favor a pragmatic and strategic approach, based on a deep understanding of your business and the search for effective, sustainable solutions tailored to the realities on the ground. At Concordes, theoretical discourses or those disconnected from operational challenges have no place.
In a context marked by the congestion of jurisdictions, we prioritize an intelligent use of time and resources. We propose alternative strategies to litigation while systematically anticipating the risks and impacts of potential disputes.
Concordes is the only 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.
