What Actalys does

Actalys is a Brussels-based notary firm (ACTALYS SRL) founded in 2010, operating as a private limited company under Belgian law. The firm provides notarial services through four specialized departments: Family & Wealth, Individual Real Estate, Professional Real Estate, and Corporate. It serves private individuals at key life moments (marriage contracts, property purchases, estate planning, wills), property developers and traders managing projects from land acquisition through sale of final units, and corporate clients requiring company formation, capital operations, mergers, demergers, and liquidations. The firm employs approximately 40-45 collaborators including six associate notaries, and delivers services in French, Dutch, and English across international, federal, and regional Belgian legislation.

The firm operates a paperless digital office with video conferencing, flex desk arrangement, and modern IT infrastructure. It integrates third-party platforms including IZIMI (Belgian notarial federation's secure digital deeds portal), Biddit (online public auction platform), and an online appointment booking system. The firm's privacy policy discloses the use of AI systems for low-risk preparation of notarial deeds and documents, representing a process automation layer. Notable institutional affiliations include the Lexunion international network of legal and tax specialists (Eric Jacobs as director) and Fednot (Fédération Royale du Notariat Belge) (Jean Vincke as administrator).

Revenue is generated exclusively through government-regulated transaction fees per notarial act, across real estate, family/wealth, and corporate service lines. Client acquisition is primarily through professional referrals, the Lexunion network for cross-border matters, and a multilingual website with online cost calculators and downloadable document templates. The firm offers no public pricing (fees are regulated by Belgian law) and operates from a single headquarters at Boulevard de Waterloo 16 in Brussels, with no evidence of geographic expansion or external capital.

• A&O Shearman (Brussels): Global law firm with major Brussels office active in cross-border M&A and real estate; comparable for the international client base Actalys serves through its multilingual practice.
• Stibbe: Leading Benelux law firm headquartered in Amsterdam with a significant Brussels office; competes for cross-border corporate and real estate transactions where Actalys's Lexunion network also plays.
• NautaDutilh: Benelux law firm with deep corporate and real estate practices in Brussels; relevant for corporate lifecycle mandates where Actalys's Corporate department also operates.
• Baker McKenzie (Brussels): Global law firm with significant Brussels presence serving corporate and real estate clients; comparable for international mandates routed through Lexunion-style referral networks.
• Liedekerke Wolters Waelbroeck Kirkpatrick: Major Brussels full-service law firm with a strong real estate and corporate practice; competes with Actalys for high-end real estate and corporate mandates while offering broader litigation and advisory services beyond notarial scope.

Direct peers

Regional players
