Questions

How many English-speaking lawyers are there in Belgium?
We list 51, in 5 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Namur, with 21 of the 51.
Is English unusual for lawyers in Belgium?
80% of the 64 lawyers we hold in Belgium are recorded as working in English. Each source records a language for its own reasons, so the figure reflects who publishes that information, not only who speaks what.
