About Indie Law
Our values
Indie Law stands for
A pragmatic approach
We work with you to develop win-win solutions and find ways to prevent avoidable conflicts.
Solution-focused approach
A problem calls for a solution. Our aim is to make things happen.
Integrity
We do not take on cases in which we do not believe or which we do not support. Indeed, when taking their oath, every lawyer vows not to recommend or defend any case which, in their honour and conscience, they do not believe to be just. We are committed to upholding this principle.
A general approach
When developing strategies and solutions, it is not only legal considerations but also economic and sector-specific factors that deserve attention. We also always carry out a cost-benefit analysis, so that this element can be taken into account when setting the course.
Clear communication
We provide you with a realistic assessment of the prospects, time and costs involved, because we consider ‘managing expectations’ to be of the utmost importance in a relationship based on trust. We aim to offer an honest sounding board. Making unrealistic promises is not our style.
Personalised service
Every individual or organisation has their own needs and concerns. This calls for personalised, tailor-made solutions. We don’t offer a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, we listen to your story first and then work out the appropriate solution.
Emmanuel Verraes
“My passion for music shaped my career choices”
“Music school wasn’t for me, but Nirvana and my motivation more than made up for that when I bought my first guitar. Even today, making music is the hobby that gives me the most satisfaction. I didn’t become a professional rock musician, but my passion for creativity has certainly shaped all my subsequent choices. After completing my law degree (KU Leuven), I went on to obtain a further qualification in intellectual property law in England (LLM in Intellectual Property Law, Queen Mary University of London).”
“Creativity deserves not only admiration, but also protection.”

“Music is the driving force behind my dedication as a lawyer.”
“Art has always played a central and defining role in my life. It is my great passion for music that led me to study intellectual property law. The crux of my fight lies in protecting artists so that they can devote themselves fully to the cultural enrichment of our society. Becoming a solicitor to play my part in this fight was therefore a natural choice. I regard it as my calling to help, protect and defend artists with dedication and passion. I place inestimable value on integrity.”
“Intellectual property rights are essential for preserving the cultural and artistic wealth of our society.”
