Advocaat.be analyses the coalition agreement: what does it mean for the legal profession and law-seeking citizens?
On 31 January 2025, the Federal Government Agreement was published. This comprehensive 200-page document outlines the policy plans for the 2025-2029 coalition period and contains reforms within various areas of competence, including justice. Advocaat.be thoroughly analysed the agreement and reacted with a note on the proposals that have an impact on the legal profession and on the legal protection of citizens.
As a professional association of the legal profession, we advocate not only for an accessible and strong legal profession, but also for a well-functioning rule of law in which everyone has equal rights. Our analysis therefore focuses in particular on the Justice Minister's plans. In addition, a separate and more in-depth paper on asylum and migration was prepared by our Migration Law Committee. Both papers offer in-depth insights into the planned reforms and their implications for the legal profession and litigants.
The note has since been delivered to Justice Minister Annelies Verlinden. The additional text on asylum and migration was shared with Asylum and Migration Minister Anneleen Van Bossuyt.
We are now also happy to share these notes with you. Advocaat.be remains committed to an accessible legal profession and a strong rule of law, so that the voice of the legal profession is heard and everyone has equal access to law and justice.
