Kris Luyckx

Belgium, Antwerp

Kris Luyckx, Senior Partner and head of Criminal Law at Desdalex Advocaten in Antwerp, is a dynamic lawyer whose practice spans Belgium, Europe, and the Americas. Specializing in financial, fiscal, economic, and organized criminal law—particularly drug offenses tied to Antwerp's strategic harbor—Kris has appeard in media-stormed trials like Operation Propere Handen, the Visa crisis, and the Jejoen B. Syria fighter case. A substitute judge at the Antwerp Court of Appeal and lecturer at the University of Antwerp, he chairs the Flemish Council for Economic Research on Foreigners.

Kris's contribution to Intercrime Defence Alliance is his intimate knowledge of supranational police collaborations and extradition requests, making him indispensable for harbor-adjacent organized crime defenses. His experience in over fifty assize trials, including Hans Van Themsche and Kim De Gelder, adds unflinching trial stamina to our roster. As a sought-after speaker Kris infuses Intercrime with Belgian efficiency and ethical oversight, fortifying our European core against fiscal and drug-related incursions with strategies that prioritize client welfare amid intensifying cross-border scrutiny.
