With nearly 20 years of legal experience, Nicolas Magrez has built a strong reputation in the fields of Intellectual Property (IP), Information Technology (IT), and Data Privacy. He is fully bilingual in French and English, and holds three advanced degrees: a Master of Laws from the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB, 2008), an LL.M. in Intellectual Property Law from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KUL, 2010), and a Master in Management from the Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management (2011).

Nicolas began his legal career at Katz-Law, a leading boutique firm specialized in copyright and trademark law. Building on this solid foundation, he moved to Hong Kong, where he served as General Counsel for two international companies: Pacsafe (outdoor equipment) and Dropsafe (oil and gas sector). In these roles, he gained hands-on experience developing and implementing global strategies for trademark, patent, and copyright protection.

In 2015, Nicolas returned to Belgium and founded Magrez Law, focusing on legal solutions for the IT, IP, and data protection sectors. In 2020, he joined Van Cutsem, a Brussels-based full-service law firm, as partner in charge of IP/IT matters. In 2022, he was appointed General Counsel at AfterShip, a tech unicorn serving over 100,000 eCommerce retailers worldwide.

Today, Nicolas offers strategic, business-minded legal advice, combining deep technical expertise with international in-house leadership experience. His core strengths include intellectual property portfolio management, cross-border contract negotiation, data privacy and design of legal operations in fast-scaling environments.
