Ruben Vispoel

Lawyer in criminal law, traffic law & sports law

“Welcome, it’s a pleasure. I am Ruben Vispoel, lawyer in criminal law, traffic law and sports law. A creative fighter, a driven pragmatist and a competitive cyclist. With my love of different cultures and a worldly outlook on life, I bring the seemingly unattainable within reach of every client.

Getting to the bottom of every case is my strength. And I learned it from the best. First through my academic education, then alongside reputable lawyers. In 2013, I graduated as Master of Laws in Ghent, after which I opted for a Master of Criminology at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. In September 2015 I started my internship at the Bar at Van Steenbrugge Advocaten.

In early 2021, after five intense and educational years, Wahib El Hayouni and I decided to continue writing our own story under the name WRight Lawyers. Today, we combine our experience and complimentary approaches in complex cases, while consciously focusing on training, guiding and passing on our way of working to a new generation of lawyers.”
