Toon Dictus is an associate in the London and Brussels offices of Latham & Watkins and member of the global Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Practice.
Toon advises on a broad range of ESG and sustainability matters, in both a regulatory and transactional context.
His regulatory practice covers global sustainability frameworks, ranging from climate change to business and human rights. He focuses in particular on regulations flowing from the EU Green Deal, including corporate sustainability reporting, circularity, carbon markets, and energy transition.
His transactional practice is focused on advising on environmental, health, and safety (EHS) and ESG aspects of cross-border M&A and other corporate transactions.
In 2021, Toon co-authored the “ESG Guide: Overview of the ESG Regulatory Landscape” which was published by the Belgian Corporate Governance Committee in the context of his involvement in their ESG platform.
In 2026, Toon was seconded to a leading multinational e-commerce and tech platform to cover a Principal Legal Counsel Sustainability role, with responsibility for European sustainability regulatory matters including the Ecodesign Regulation, CBAM, packaging legislation, carbon credit programs, and corporate sustainability due diligence.
Toon is also a part-time practice lecturer in Negotiation & Mediation at KU Leuven, and was a guest lecturer in courses on ESG and Sustainability at Harvard Law School.
