The Law School in the University of Coimbra is the most prestigious one in Portugal. At the time, it was also the most demanding and difficult. After my internship in a law firm, I am enrolled in the Portuguese Bar Association since December 14, 1992.

Since then I work exclusively as a lawyer, in the city where I was born, in my office. I also collaborate with the Bar Association Internship Center and I was part of the deontological council of the Bar Association.

Schelstraete Lawyers

Schelstraete Equine Lawyers

Our work for foreign clients is carried out primarily within the fields of Company Law and Equine Law. When it comes to these legal fields, Schelstraete Lawyers prides itself on its extensive experience and insight into the effects of cross-border transactions.

In order to be able to best promote the interests of Dutch companies and private individuals abroad, we avail ourselves of the know-how of law firms and/or tax specialists in most EU countries and the United States; we maintain close ties with these professionals who apply the same practically oriented approach we do.

In the legal field, equine law is considered a niche. For Schelstraete Lawyers, however, this is not the case.

With over 30 years of experience, we are a trendsetting firm in this field. Mr L.M. (Luc) Schelstraete, LLM, active at the time as a rider in dressage and combined competition sports, was asked with increasing frequency to answer legal questions related to the equine sport. Eventually, this led to several employees at the firm becoming active, on a daily basis, with many topics directly related to the equine sport such as:

  • drawing up contracts for the purchase and sale of horses and ponies, at a national and international level;
  • providing advice and assistance to clients in litigation relating to the purchase and sale of horses and/or ponies;
  • legal evaluations of veterinary reports involving the purchase and sale of horses and/or ponies;
  • the drafting and assessment of contracts concerning partnerships between horse owners, equestrian sport companies, sponsors and their riders/horsewomen;
  • assisting horse owners and/or riders in disciplinary proceedings at a national and an FEI level;
  • assisting veterinarians with legal matters;
  • advising and providing guidance to professional (equestrian) organisations in the civil law field.

We are extremely well-versed in the terminology and highly knowledgeable about the specific culture of those active in the equine sport, be it on a professional or amateur level. This familiarity with the sport, including the legal knowledge and experience of the veterinary aspects of this field, are necessary in order to properly advise and guide clients involved in these activities.

We are more aware than most of the latest developments in the field of international equine law.

As a result of this prominent position, we are often asked to provide lectures and classes related to this field, and we publish articles on a regular basis in both national and international trade magazines. Under the name European Law Review, we write a regular column for the global edition of BCM’s Horse International. Besides that, we also discuss legal cases on a weekly basis for the websites Horse International and Horses.nl.
