Tandem Law

What Tandem Law does

Tandem Law is a Brussels-based bilingual (French and Dutch) law firm founded in 2019 by lawyers Charlotte Jacobs and Typhaine Waver. The firm provides legal advisory and representation services across a portfolio of practice areas anchored in real estate law, contract law, and commercial law, supplemented by specialized modules in construction law (including Breyne Law matters), rental and lease law, co-ownership, property sales, property law, neighborhood disputes, traffic law, and art law. Services are delivered through direct client engagement at a single Brussels office (Rue des Pigeons / Duivenstraat 12), with no proprietary technology platform — the offering is a traditional professional services practice differentiated by its bilingual capability across Belgium's two main legal languages.

The business model is a privately held, founder-owned partnership with no external institutional investors, private equity, or parent company. Engagement is quote-based with no publicly disclosed pricing, and client acquisition occurs primarily through the firm's website (with French and Dutch versions), direct phone, email, contact form, and in-person consultations. The customer base is horizontally segmented across individual and business clients in Brussels and the broader Belgian market, with no named enterprise clients or significant case-study references disclosed.

The firm operates at very small scale (1-10 employees) with the two co-founders as the only identified lawyers, supported by the founders' specialized credentials — Jacobs's notariat specialization from KU Leuven and mediation credentials, and Waver's L.L.M. from Leiden and UN ICTY internship experience. There is no evidence of funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, technology investments, or geographic expansion beyond the Brussels headquarters.

Direct peers

• Lydian: Belgian independent law firm with a Brussels office, focused on commercial, corporate, and real estate matters. Comparable to Tandem Law as a Belgian boutique serving business clients with similar practice areas, though Lydian has broader corporate and tax capabilities.
• Simont Braun: Brussels-based independent Belgian law firm offering commercial, contract, real estate, and civil law services. Closely comparable to Tandem Law as a Brussels boutique with overlapping practice areas, though with a larger team.

Broad incumbents

• Loyens & Loeff: Benelux-headquartered law and tax firm with a strong Brussels office. Overlaps with Tandem Law on real estate and commercial matters, but serves larger corporate and high-net-worth clients across multiple jurisdictions.
• NautaDutilh: Leading Benelux law firm with a Brussels office, naturally bilingual Dutch/French/English. Comparable to Tandem Law in its Benelux bilingual capability, but at much larger scale covering corporate, finance, and litigation.
• Linklaters (Brussels): Global Magic Circle firm with a substantial Brussels office handling high-end real estate, corporate, and commercial work. Represents the top end of the Brussels legal market that Tandem Law cannot directly compete with but against which it must position.
• Stibbe: Major Benelux full-service law firm with a strong Brussels office. Overlaps with Tandem Law on real estate, contract, and commercial law matters, but operates at vastly greater scale with international reach and full corporate/M&A capabilities that Tandem Law lacks.
• Baker McKenzie (Brussels): Global law firm with a long-standing Brussels office. Operates across real estate, commercial, and dispute work in both French and Dutch — directly relevant as a multilingual Brussels incumbent competing for similar clients.
• Freshfields (Brussels): Global law firm with a major Brussels presence covering commercial, real estate, and dispute resolution matters. Sets the quality and pricing benchmark for sophisticated Brussels mandates that Tandem Law is unlikely to win.
• Altius: Established Belgian law firm with a Brussels base covering commercial, corporate, and real estate law. A direct functional competitor in the Belgian mid-market segment, with deeper associate bench than Tandem Law.

Regional players

• Lexgo: Belgian legal services platform/network connecting clients with Belgian lawyers. Adjacent rather than directly competitive: it is a distribution channel through which smaller firms like Tandem Law might be listed, and a potential partnership or referral counterpart for client acquisition.
