Corporate Law Student Association · Leuven
About CLSA
CLSA was founded to bridge the gap between academic theory and legal practice for ambitious law students. Moving beyond traditional, one-off workshops, a select group of students will spend the academic year tackling real-world cases under the direct guidance of experienced lawyers from our partner firms. Supported by our AI partner, our members will actively integrate AI tools into their case work.
Partner Firms
CLSA works with four established law firms. Baker McKenzie, Freshfields, Eubelius and NautaDutilh, each guiding one case theme per semester. From the first class to the final office visit, members experience direct contact with the associates and partners.
