Stefan Agneessens
Partner
Stefan Agneessens obtained his law degree from VUB (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) in 2003 and immediately joined the Brussels Bar at the firm Heilporn & Kadaner, where he specialised in real estate law and quickly became a partner. Stefan advises clients on all types of real estate transactions, development and construction projects, leases, and disputes. He has specific experience in retail real estate and commercial leases. Stefan pleads before all Belgian courts in Dutch and French, and is perfectly trilingual (Dutch, French and English).
Michel Plessers
Partner
Michel Plessers obtained his law degree from ULB (Université Libre de Bruxelles) in 1987, after which he specialised in economic law (1989) and obtained an additional master's degree in law from the University of Cambridge (1990). He has been a member of the Brussels Bar since 1987 and worked at the law firms De Bandt, Van Hecke & Lagae (now 'Linklaters') and Heilporn & Kadaner, where he was a partner for 20 years. Michel specialises in civil and commercial law and has built extensive experience in real estate development and all related areas. He taught real estate law at ULB and is a regular speaker at the Commission Interuniversitaire de Droit Notarial. Michel works in Dutch, French and English. Consistently recognised by Chambers as one of Belgium's leading real estate specialists.
Vianto Pashku
Partner Lawyer
Vianto Pashku is a co-founder of the law firm Reius. He obtained a Master of Laws from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, with a specialisation in Criminal Law. After an initial professional experience in the corporate world at the head office of Beobank, he was admitted to the Brussels Bar in 2016 and joined the firm Heilporn & Kadaner. There, he developed his practice in real estate law, insurance law and liability law — with a particular focus on real estate disputes, proceedings concerning hidden defects, liability claims and contested sale and purchase transactions. Vianto assists clients in a pragmatic and engaged manner, with an eye for both the legal and commercial context of each file. He thinks proactively and seeks to identify and manage risks at an early stage. He is known for his strategic litigation insight and sharp negotiation skills — qualities he deploys both at the negotiating table and before the courts. At the same time, he consistently explores whether an amicable resolution is possible and appropriate. Drawing on his background in criminal law, Vianto also handles police court matters, allowing him to stay attuned to the most recent developments in criminal law. Vianto works in Dutch, French and English.
