  • ELSA Belgium is delighted to have had the honor of partnering with Van Bael & Bellis on the second edition of the VBB Transactions Tournament. 🎉   On the 22nd of October, the firm hosted the event, which was a day full of real-life transactions thrill, welcoming students from different universities to compete in an immersive challenge.   The day started with an informative session on transactions, followed by rigorous due diligence, and culminated in negotiations among parties involved in a major deal. The pressure felt akin to that experienced daily by lawyers in the field. ⚖️   We would like to thank Van Bael & Bellis for this amazing opportunity but particularly our alumnus Viktor Francq for the organization, along with Michel Bonne, Hannelore Matthys, Aleksandrs Cerepanovs, Jens Westerwoudt, Seppe Jansegers, Emilie Savary, Amal Sarwar, and all others involved, without forgetting the participants who decided to challenge themselves.   We are already looking forward to the next edition!
