Why consult our 2026 salary guide?
In 2026, the Belgian and Luxembourg legal markets are evolving under economic pressure. In 2025, bankruptcy filings rose by 4.4% in Europe according to Eurostat, and by around 6% in Belgium compared to 2024, with nearly 11,697 companies filing for bankruptcy, a level not seen since 2013.
In this context, firms are strengthening their expertise in corporate, compliance, employment and restructuring. In Luxembourg, demand remains strong in corporate, funds and banking. Legal expertise is becoming a strategic lever for securing growth and supporting business transformation.
Our 2026 Belgium & Luxembourg Salary Guide is based on real data collected in 2025 from professionals and firms active in the field. It reflects local specificities, seniority levels and the impact of the economic context on remuneration.
It is not a theoretical estimate, but an accurate benchmark of the Belgian and Luxembourg markets.
For employers, it enables them to position their offers competitively.
For talent, it serves as an objective basis for negotiations in 2026.
Our Methodology
Our data is not based on theoretical estimates.
It is derived from hundreds of forms completed by candidates and active clients in Belgium and Luxembourg. Each piece of information is then analysed and cross-checked by our sector-specific Career Advisors to ensure the consistency and reliability of the published ranges.
The remuneration levels presented take into account experience, type of organisation, geographical location and the specific economic context of each market. In the legal sector, we distinguish between Junior, Mid, Senior, Counsel and Partner levels. In the real estate sector, the data covers both employees and self-employed professionals, with daily rates where relevant.
A salary at the lower or upper end of the range should always be interpreted in context. The size of the company, the complexity of the cases, pressure on profitability and the scarcity of expertise all have a significant influence on the differences observed.
