Equestria law
Equestria Law is Vanbelle's most recent department, with a specific focus on horses and their owners, users and suppliers, in the broadest sense of the word.
Our firm has particular expertise, also thanks to the exclusive collaboration with Elisabeth Milan, who has been active in the sector for many years and now also offers her support in this area as a lawyer. We like to provide our services as efficiently as possible, depending on what you prefer: at our office, at your home or via videoconference and e-mail.
We prefer to charge for our services on a flat-rate basis wherever possible: that way, you also know where you stand financially from the start. This is certainly possible for the drafting of most agreements; for more complex matters, we use an hourly rate and offer you an estimate from the start. You will find full details about how we work and about our fees in the client agreement elsewhere on this website.
