It can be advisable to appoint an administrator when someone loses control over his/her actions.

It is often advisable to appoint an independent administrator. Joost Peeters is an administrator and would be happy to handle this.
Are you already GDPR compliant?
Since 25 May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation, better known as the “GDPR”, is in force. The GDPR imposes extensive transparency and security obligations. The current management and security of the processed personal data in your organisation must be mapped. Perhaps you will be surprised by the amount of data you have acquired over the years, such as personnel, payroll administration, customers, suppliers, camera surveillance, GPS tracking, use of badges and so on.
Joost PEETERS (lawyer and partner at STUDIO | LEGALE) and Simon GEENS (lawyer at STUDIO | LEGALE), followed an intensive GDPR course and are now, after passing the exam, as from 30 April 2018 and 23 September 2019 respectively holder of the certificate of “Data Protection Officer” (“DPO”), issued by the Data Protection Institute. They guide entrepreneurs to implement the GDPR as efficiently as possible in the company structure.
In order to meet the transparency obligations, records of processing activities, processing agreements, policies and confidentiality agreements have to be drawn up, among other things. You can always count on us for this.
The data must also be protected in practice. In order to optimally integrate the legislation in the company, STUDIO | LEGALE works together with STUDIO | SECURO who will screen the security of the company and display the risks of data leaks in a clear report.
Do you wonder to what extent you are compliant with the GDPR? We are always at your disposal for a first introductory meeting, during which we will briefly explain the core principles of the legislation and the consequences of the GDPR for your company.
From BVBA to BV
Does your company framework change?
By law of March 23th 2019 consindering the implemention of the new Code of Companies and associations (“WVV”) the “Besloten Vennootschap”, i.e. the “BV” was introduced in Belgian company law. This new company format provides enormous flexibility and offers a range of modalities in terms of management, voting rights and transfer of shares. Founders can fully adapt the articles of association of the BV to the needs of the company and its shareholders. The law provides for a transitory regime consisting of three dates: 01.05.2019, 01.01.2020 and 01.01.2024.
- As from 01.05.2019, new companies have to be founded in accordance with the new company law. Existing companies can also opt-in to the new company law.
- As from 01.01.2020, the mandatory provisions of the WVV will apply for all old company forms. The old companies must fully comply with the WVV at the time of the first amendment of the articles of association.
- By 01.01.2024 at the latest, all old companies must have adapted the articles of association to the WVV.
Although you only have to adapt your articles of association at the first amendment of the articles of association or at the latest on 01.01.2024, it is nevertheless advisable to do so as soon as possible. The provisions of the articles of association that are in conflict with mandatory provisions of the WVV are deemed to be non-written. Furthermore, the new WVV offers the freedom to form your company in the flexible BV entirely according to your needs. Now is the time to review and evaluate your company’s articles of association.
