Matthias Jans

In 2012, Matthias Jans graduated as Master of Laws from KU Leuven where he specialized in economic and private law. Given his preference for corporate law and M&A, he also obtained an Advanced Master’s degree in Corporate Law at the KU Leuven, HU Brussel in 2014, and a postgraduate degree in Corporate Finance at the KU Leuven in 2020. From 2014 until 2019, he was a part-time teaching assistant within the team of Professor Joeri Vananroye at the Institute of Economic Law of the KU Leuven. Matthias started his career as a lawyer in 2012 at the law firm Curia, where he focused on corporate and business law. At the beginning of 2013, he participated in the creation of intui. In 2017, he temporarily left the Bar to work as a senior consultant in corporate law for one of Belgium’s largest independent fiduciaries. In 2018, he reintegrated the intui team. Matthias mainly handles M&A cases (transfer of shares, asset deals, mergers and acquisitions, shareholders’ agreements…) and advises on corporate and association law. He has also expertise in drawing up and negotiating commercial contracts.

Matthias Verschaffel

Matthias Verschaffel obtained a master’s degree in law and corporate law and joined Laurius in 2017. His area of expertise? That ranges from corporate and company law, over private law, to property law and inheritance disputes. In both national and international contexts. Dispute resolution (amicably, through arbitration or court proceedings) also falls within his area of expertise. Providing efficient solutions that best fit the client’s wishes and needs. This is how Matthias puts his stamp on every case as a lawyer. For him, Laurius rhymes with excellence and in-depth legal analysis: two things that he in turn pursues in his case follow-up. Matthias handles each case purposefully and pragmatically, correctly and creatively. Going the extra mile is self-evident to him.
