Pierre Bruwier practiced law from 2003 to 2010 in major Belgian law firms, mainly in the field of intellectual property law. He is the author of several publications on the subject and has been invited to speak at various seminars. As a result of his litigation skills, he was nominated for the Georges Boels Prize in 2005.

From 2011 to 2021 he headed the legal department of an engineering company with offices in more than ten countries in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. This position led him to oversee the various legal aspects of an international group. He has acquired a particular expertise in negotiating construction contracts (EP and EPC) for industrial complexes built on the five continents. He has furthermore assisted various clients in obtaining project financing with coverage by a credit insurer.

As a certified mediator since 2020, he puts his sense of compromise, his knowledge of the internal workings of a company, and his extensive experience as a negotiator at the service of companies wishing to settle their disputes without resorting to the courts. Since 2011, he is regularly appointed as a judicial expert in the context of descriptive seizure proceedings, a procedure specific to intellectual property rights.

After a decade of leading a legal department in the corporate world, Pierre is returning to the practice of law, and is in the process of re-registering at the Brussels bar.

Pierre works in French, English, Dutch and he understands Spanish.
