He also advises and represents his clients in real estate law (commercial and private rental agreements, superficie and emphytéose….).
He defends his clients tooth and nail, but keeps a cool head and gives the priority to his clients’ interests :

« Litigation is often long and, in spite of everything, uncertain. If there is little chance a case will stand up at court, I do not hesitate to advise against initiating legal proceedings ».

Due to his language skills, Tristan advises frequently companies and individuals with interests in Croatia and in other former Yugoslavia countries, as well as entrepreneurs from those countries wishing to start a business in Belgium.

He published many articles in specialized journals, mostly tax related.
