Farewell to Two Familiar Faces: Leo Peeters and Ann Vranken

With great respect and gratitude, we bid farewell to two colleagues who have helped shape the identity and direction of our firm for many years. After long and distinguished careers, Leo Peeters and Ann Vranken are retiring, entrusting the future of the firm to the next generation. Their departure marks the end of an important chapter in our firm’s history.

Leo Peeters has built an exceptional career as a lawyer specializing in corporate, financial, and economic law, gaining extensive experience in areas such as M&A, reorganizations, and financial law. He began his career as a legal counsel at several companies, including PwC and EY, where he served as a Partner for many years. In 1998, he founded Peeters Advocaten-Avocats in collaboration with EY.

In 2009, driven by a clear vision and entrepreneurial spirit, he established Peeters Law. In 2019, together with Koen De Puydt and through their continued dedication, the firm evolved into Seeds of Law, which later became the foundation for what is now Andersen in Belgium.

Leo has always combined legal acumen with strategic insight, advising numerous clients in complex national and international matters.

After a professional career spanning more than forty years, Leo has decided to take a step back. However, he will continue to support our firm for at least two more years in his role as Of Counsel. We are deeply grateful that Leo will continue to share his expertise with us.

Ann Vranken has been responsible for the firm’s internal operations and communications since 2009. With her legal background and many years of experience as an advisor and advocate in the automotive sector, she has contributed significantly to developing clear external communication, efficient internal processes, and knowledge sharing within Peeters Law, Seeds of Law, and now Andersen.
She played a key role in expanding our know-how management and has greatly contributed to the firm’s professional image. Her pragmatic approach, loyal commitment, and clear writing style will be long remembered and appreciated.

We sincerely thank Leo and Ann for their many years of dedication and contribution, and we wish them both every success and fulfillment in this new chapter of their lives.
