Toronto – The Belgian Canadian Business Chamber (“BCBC”) is proud to announce that Xavier Van Overmeire, Regional Head of the International Trade Group (Montreal) of Dentons LLP, has been appointed President of the BCBC. The BCBC aims to foster contacts and relationships for its members who share an interest in developing business and trade opportunities between Canada and Belgium.
Xavier has an extensive expertise in multi-jurisdictional transactions, including international mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances, and his wealth of experience representing notably Canadian and Belgian companies before international courts of law makes him an ideal candidate for this position.
Moreover, Xavier is Fellow of the Centre d’études et de recherches internationales de l’Université de Montréal (CÉRIUM) and is regularly invited by various international associations and corporations as a speaker on free trade agreements, most particularly on the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (the “CETA”) between EU and Canada.
“We are delighted to welcome Xavier to the leadership of the BCBC. He brings a solid experience of international business development and a deep knowledge of the Canadian-Belgian network to the Chamber. We express our support and our best wishes for success” said André van der Heyden and Christian Frayssignes, Vice-presidents of the BCBC.
