Alumni Thanksgiving 2022 at the Brussels office of Cleary Gottlieb. An occasion to meet and reminisce. It was there almost 30 years ago that I began to learn the legal-practice profession (still at Loi 23). The office at Loi 57 fresh from a general remodeling, the effect is amazing. The “New York” meeting room (and table!) so huge that you can make a parliamentary session there. Atmospheric artwork, including an installation made by Fred Eerdekens, that reminds us that “sometimes you see something hardly visible that will change your days and nights.” Thank you Cleary Gottlieb Brussels for the invitation, the tour of the art collection and the wonderful atmosphere!
