Maître Vanille SCOHY WABBES

Lawyer at the Brussels Bar, I run a law firm specialising in migration and immigration law, assisting clients with legal matters concerning mobility, regularisation, and integration.

Of Belgian origin with Congolese roots, and coming from a family spread across the globe, I have developed a deep sensitivity to migration and intercultural issues. This openness allows me to approach each case with a human perspective, tailored to the individual realities of every client.

Convinced that a lawyer’s primary role is to listen with empathy and without judgment, I aim to act as both a support and a guide in finding the most suitable and satisfactory solutions for my clients. 

I am committed to offering rigorous, tailored, and effective support, and to defending my clients’ rights with unwavering professionalism and dedication.

“Thinking outside the box” is more than a motto — it’s how I approach every case
