The Steve Skills Team

As a Business Partner | Legal Recruitment, Catherine acts as a sparring partner and single point of contact for companies looking to strengthen their in-house legal teams – across executive, freelance, and permanent recruitment.

She recruits for roles such as:

• Head of Legal / General Counsel
• Senior Legal Counsel
• Legal Counsel
• Corporate Legal Specialist / Contract Manager

Holding a Bachelor’s degree in Law from the Université de Namur, a Master of Laws from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, and a Master in Intellectual Property & ICT Law from the KU Leuven, Catherine combines a strong legal background with deep market and recruitment expertise.

Her entrepreneurial and transactional mindset, direct communication style, and solution-oriented approach make her a trusted partner for both clients and candidates.
Fully trilingual (FR–NL–EN), she works with clarity, efficiency, and structure, ensuring a long-term, sustainable approach.

While comfortable across all areas of law, Catherine has a particular affinity for real estate in the broad sense – from construction and development to logistics and promotion.

She supports organisations through periods of growth, complex projects, or temporary absences, connecting them with the most suitable legal professionals – from General Counsel to Freelance Legal Experts – and building partnerships that last.
