Experience

After finishing her studies, Veerle started her career at the Ghent Bar where she spent eight years as a lawyer. In 2004 she gave the opening speech at the opening of the judicial year in Ghent. In 2005 Veerle decided to leave the Bar and made the switch to Vandelanotte. As Legal Manager, she was responsible for carrying out legal due diligences, drawing up all sorts of contracts and conducting negotiations. However, it soon became clear that Veerle had a passion for mergers and acquisitions. In 2010 she started her own department 'Vandelanotte Corporate Finance'.
