In the early years of her career, Christine Mussche specialised in juvenile law. She moved into criminal law because of her fascination with human behaviour, behavioural problems and their causes. A humane outlook is the consistent feature of the honest legal advice she offers to the victims and perpetrators of crimes.

Christine Mussche succeeds in combining her years of experience as a criminal lawyer with a fresh perspective, and consistently demonstrates a keen interest in new subject matter relevant to criminal law, with a view to assisting her clients as comprehensively as possible. She works in criminal law in the broad sense and has particular expertise in sexual offences.

She is the first point of contact for all new cases.
