Heiner Barth

Background

Heiner Barth was born on 3 April 1962. His documented professional life is centred on Liège, a city in Wallonia whose university, founded in 1817, has long been a major centre of legal education in French-speaking Belgium.

Education

Barth studied at the University of Liège, where he obtained the Lie. Doctor qualification recorded for 1986. The university was founded in 1817 under King William I of the Netherlands, and after Belgian independence it was designated a state university in 1835.

The institution is a French-language institution of higher learning whose faculties include law, economics, and political and social sciences. Legal training there therefore formed part of a broad university tradition in the Liège region.

Barth was admitted to the bar at Liège in 1987. Bar admission was the professional qualification that allowed him to practise as a lawyer in the Liège legal district.

Career

Barth's documented professional career is that of a lawyer. He worked as a partner of Bernard Spinoit, a Belgian lawyer whose practice operated as the Cabinet de Maître Bernard Spinoit.

In Belgium, a cabinet d'avocats is a law office in which lawyers share professional premises and client work, a structure common among independent practitioners at the bar.

His legal expertise is also reflected in his contribution to a labour law collective volume published in 2016, described under publications.
