Antoine de Werd

Without friction, there is no shine. Balancing these aspects during a divorce is an art, particularly if you are a business owner or an expat dealing with complex financial and international issues. In such cases, having the right support is crucial.

Antoine de Werd primarily represents business owners, high-net-worth individuals, expats, and professionals. He is often engaged as a divorce lawyer in cases involving complex financial matters, such as alimentation and asset settlement, as well as transgressive behaviour. In striving for the best possible outcome, he combines experience with creativity and a unique approach. Unbounded by standard methods, Antoine continues exploring until his clients are completely satisfied.

As a co-founder of GMW advocaten, Antoine has a deep understanding of his business clients. His insight is deepened by the fact that, before family law became his passion, he studied corporate law. With a keen eye for numbers, he primarily focuses on the financial aspects, often revealing truths that can be painful. While being fully empathetic to someone’s personal circumstances, Antoine maintains a clear focus on the ultimate goal, even when emotions run high.

Clients appreciate his human-oriented and result-driven approach. They value his clear communication, accessible advice, and informality, which they find calming. Antoine’s easy-going nature allows him to go the extra mile. Rather than wasting energy, he tackles issues when necessary and releases them when appropriate.

What Antoine values in life is reflected at GMW advocaten: people experiencing the freedom to grow; a focus on quality, not driven by rules but by inner motivation; and a strong ambition to help clients thrive. This inspires art enthusiast Antoine every day, just as much as the extensive art collection that, thanks to him, flourishes on the walls of GMW advocaten.
