Questions

How many German-speaking lawyers are there in Belgium?
We list 29, in 3 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?
Brussels, with 20 of the 29.
Is German unusual for lawyers in Belgium?
35% of the 83 lawyers we hold in Belgium are recorded as working in German. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
