Life at Stibbe

Stibbe’s teambuilding initiatives and events give you the chance to get to know your colleagues better and to have fun together in a stress-free, active, and sometimes adrenaline-pumping way! They certainly create team spirit and bring a lot of laughter, even at the office after the events are over.

Life at Stibbe

We understand that you spend a lot of your time at work, and we are committed to ensuring that your professional life environment is positive, inclusive, empowering, and worthwhile.

Stibbe’s company culture revolves around these key values: social engagement, inclusion, integrity, health, passion, impact, innovation. From tangibles (our infrastructure and facilities) to intangibles (inclusive and empowering work environment, team spirit, mentorship, physical and mental guidance), our culture goes far beyond just the vibes in the office.

Open, fun, positive, enabling, welcoming

Stibbe Brussels is located at the state-of-the-art Central Plaza building. All our team workspace and individual lawyer’s offices are equipped with all modern comfort and facilities to enable you to perform your best. Our welcoming working environment, open company culture, and supportive colleagues are the hallmarks of what makes us different to other law firms. From health and wellbeing programmes to collective responsibility initiatives, Stibbe is a place where you can be yourself and be heard and where you can flourish in your career and personal lives.

Your health and wellbeing is important to us

Having a work hard, play hard culture is not true unless it is enshrined in a company’s practices. We adhere to the principle of a healthy mind in a healthy body. If you do too, you will immediately feel at ease here. Every Stibbe colleague is invited to take part in all our ongoing and regularly scheduled activities, programmes, workshops, and events that enable you to develop a happy and healthy mind and body alone or together with colleagues. Because we practice what we preach: we have fun too. 

You can sign up for one of our many sports activities, such as indoor soccer and hockey tournaments, our weekly yoga sessions, our iconic cycling and ski weekends abroad, legal runs, and more. And for those who are less sportive, no worries. There are always plenty of alternatives: weekends specifically for junior associates and mid-level associates, weekly Friday drinks, Stibbe family day, end-of-year party, and many others. Our social events enable every Stibbe member to reach out professionally—to build networks of trust and support to make things happen; and personally—to have friends and allies who provide emotional support and relief at work when you need it.

Our extensive facilities help you concentrate on your career

Taking breaks at work refreshes your mind and is essential for your physical and emotional health. Stibbe’s very own coffee bar BARrister is where you’ll be greeted with smiles and friendly service and treated to tea or coffee from the hands of artisans. We also have concierge services at your disposal for your daily personal needs, such as laundry (ironing and dry-cleaning), car wash, Cambio carsharing, just to name a few.

CSR

As a leading law firm, we feel responsible for the development of a more sustainable society. For this reason, CSR is an integral part of our company culture, and we have defined clear principles and initiatives to support it.
