🎥 WEBINAR – 19 NOVEMBER 2026 Book 7 of the New Belgian Civil Code: Is Your Business Ready for the New Rules on Sales and Service Contracts? 📌 Register now: https://lnkd.in/et4EVMCY The adoption of Book 7 of the new Belgian Civil Code marks a significant reform of the legal framework governing sales and service contracts. With the new provisions entering into force on 1 September 2027, businesses should start anticipating their impact on existing contractual practices. What will change, and how can your organisation prepare? During this practical webinar, Audrey De Cannière and Pierre Van Fraeyenhoven will examine the main developments and their implications for businesses. 👉 Key topics: → Sales contracts: A new general conformity guarantee, replacing the distinction between hidden defects and the obligation to deliver conforming goods, together with revised time limits. → Consumer sales: A clearer legal framework, greater emphasis on durability and new information requirements. → Service contracts: A common set of obligations covering contractual performance, safety, information and conflicts of interest, affecting a wide range of activities, from construction and consultancy to SaaS. 📅 Join us to better understand the practical implications of this reform and identify the steps needed to review and update your contractual templates. 🎙️ Hosted in French by @Audrey De Cannière and @Pierre Van Fraeyenhoven from van Cutsem Wittamer Marnef.

It also involves important issues in labor law and social law, which are sometimes overlooked. What instructions can you give to your subcontractor’s workers?
