Aline Vernet is an Associate at Bochon & Partners and has been a member of the Brussels Bar since September 2024.

She combines a strong legal foundation with a strategic and innovative mindset. After earning a Master’s degree in Law (specialisation in Economic Law) from the Université libre de Bruxelles, she completed an Advanced Master in Innovation and Strategic Management at the Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management.

Her academic path has shaped a way of thinking that goes beyond traditional legal analysis — one that integrates strategic insight, innovation processes, and organisational dynamics.

This allows her to approach each situation with a 360° understanding of value creation, assessing not only the legal implications but also the broader strategic context.

At Bochon & Partners, she applies this dual vision to help clients navigate change, anticipate emerging risks, and seize new opportunities. She is particularly attentive to how innovation and adaptability can become key levers for sustainable growth and long-term resilience.
