Legal Counsel – Real Estate & Energy

Weerts Group is a privately-owned holding company with a diversified portfolio in the logistics, motorsport, real estate, and renewable energy sectors. The four seemingly different divisions of the Group offer valuable synergies and interesting cross-over opportunities.

Weerts Group has dual headquarters in Luxembourg and Liège, Belgium.

Its logistics real estate business spans from Belgium and Luxembourg to the Netherlands, France, Germany, the UK, Italy, Hungary and Romania.

Italy being our second ‘home market’, Weerts Group has built a strong reputation in the Italian real estate market over the past years. A substantial portfolio of logistics warehousing projects has been developed in Italy from Milan to Bari and in all stages of development (early acquisition phase, under development and already fully developed).
