The transport sector holds a central economic function in Belgium due to the country’s geographical situation and its elaborated air, rail, road and water networks in combination with its experience in manufacturing vehicles and spare parts. Both private and public entities play a major role in transportation. 

Large-scale infrastructure projects and related transport activities generate numerous legal issues that call for a holistic approach in terms of both private law (e.g. contract, tort and personal data) and public law (e.g. specific regulations, environmental law, town planning, security, public procurement and European law, including market access).
