Marie Dupont
President of the Bar

The Brussels Bar plays a key role in upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of citizens.
It ensures the professional competence of its member lawyers and monitors their compliance with ethical rules.
The Bar organises the pupillage and training programmes for junior lawyers and guarantees ongoing professional development throughout their careers.
It also recognises the areas of specialisation of lawyers, thereby ensuring high-level expertise across various fields of law.
The Brussels Bar also performs a key disciplinary role. It receives complaints from clients, lawyers, judges and any other interested parties and refers cases to the disciplinary council where a lawyer appears to have breached professional obligations.
To improve access to justice and to the services of a lawyer, the Bar has established Legal Aid Bureaus. This initiative ensures that even the most disadvantaged individuals can obtain high-quality legal assistance.
Through all these tasks, the Brussels Bar contributes to a fair and effective judicial system, while supporting and strengthening the legal profession.
In accordance with the law, the roll and lists are finalised as of 1 December 2023.
