Chris Van Olmen has been recognised as a Global Elite Thought Leader by Lexology Index (formerly Who’s Who Legal) for the category “Employment & Labor” for 2026. He is the only practitioner in Belgium to hold this distinction in this top-tier category.
The “Global Elite Thought Leaders” lists are reserved for the very select few worldwide who receive the highest number of nominations from peers, corporate counsel and market sources. Lexology Index explains that those selected “go above and beyond to deliver for their clients,” combining “vast expertise and experience” with an ability to “innovate, inspire” and tackle complex, cutting-edge legal matters.
As founding partner of Van Olmen & Wynant and co-founder of L&E Global, Chris Van Olmen handles a wide array of employment-law issues — from restructurings and large-scale dismissals to individual and collective disputes, for Belgian and international clients alike.
