Occasionally, I engage in projects apart from my activities at Smals. This page lists these activities in all transparency. By coincidence, both side projects were a collaboration with lawyers and related to crypto-currencies and blockchain.
Independent expert in litigations
I have expertise in writing independent expert reports on behalf of internationally reputed enterprises in the context of litigations involving security, cryptography and cryptocurrencies.
In June 2023, I passed the Legal Course Court Expert (Juridische Opleiding Gerechtsdeskundige), at the Faculty of Law of the KU Leuven. The course was on-campus and I passed with 85%. This course is a necessary condition for being appointed as a court expert by courts in Belgium
Author of books on blockchain
On behalf of Larcier Group and SdU, two leading publishers in the domain of law in Belgium and the Netherlands, I have co-authored several books. Combined, several thousands of copies have been sold.
The books provided an adequate answer to the powerful blockchain hype back then and the confusion it created. The authoring was preceded by several talks for lawyers.
