About the Practice

Verellen Law was founded in 2024 by Dr. Thomas Verellen, an attorney admitted to the Belgian Bar in 2012 and a scholar of European Union Law. Driven by a deep interest in global mobility—a passion shaped by his academic career across KU Leuven, Utrecht, and Michigan Law, as well as navigating Belgium's immigration system firsthand with his partner—Thomas established the practice to bridge top-tier legal scholarship with practical, high-stakes advocacy. Based in the Antwerp region, he combines over a decade of operational resolve with strategic counsel for complex cross-border mobility, Single Permits, and administrative litigation.

Why Verellen Law

  • Academic Depth & Full Litigation Standing

    Grounded in deep EU legal expertise, not just administrative form-filling. As a fully licensed law practice, every file is backed by working knowledge of complex regulatory frameworks—with full bar standing to litigate directly if a permit is refused or challenged.

  • Senior Legal Counsel, Streamlined Support

    Case strategy, legal analysis, and key decisions are handled directly by your attorney—never delegated to junior associates. Administrative tasks like document collection and processing are handled efficiently in the background, keeping senior lawyer time focused entirely on what requires true legal judgment.

  • Transparent Fixed Fees

    Legal advice and corporate mobility shouldn't be a moving target. Work is delivered on clear, upfront fixed-fee structures so HR and finance teams can budget with absolute confidence, with no risk of unexpected hourly overruns.
