In the early years of her career, Christine Mussche specialised in juvenile law. She evolved towards criminal law through a fascination for human behaviour, the failure of that behavior and its causes. Her vision of humanity is a common thread through the honest way in which she assists victims and perpetrators of crime.
Christine Mussche knows how to combine years of experience as a criminal lawyer with a fresh perspective and she continues to enrich herself with new subject matters that are close to criminal law with the intention of assisting the client in the most comprehensive way. She is active in criminal law in the broadest sense and has special expertise in criminal law sexual offences.
She is the first point of contact for all new cases.
