Xavier Heymans has been involved in several high-profile disputes relating to road bypass infrastructures on behalf of project owners and in the context of operations of national interest.

He also assists local authorities and government departments in the development of coastal areas and the management of the recession of the Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines.
