Fien joined the ITL Attorney-team in 2019 after graduating from the KU Leuven that same year. She obtained her Master of Laws with private and social law as her main course of study.

During her three-year internship under the guidance of her patron, Frederik Vanden Bogaerde, Fien developed a deep interest in transport law in all its facets. Since October 2022, Fien is an associate attorney at ITL Attorneys.

She specialises in social, labour and criminal law. Furthermore, Fien has the expertise to help clients in handling cases related to overloading.

Since joining our team, she has gained extensive pleading experience before Belgian and French courts in all her areas of expertise but particularly in matters of common and transport-specific traffic violations.
