Gevaco Advocaten

What Gevaco Advocaten does

Gevaco Advocaten is a full-service Belgian law firm headquartered in Beringen (Flanders), operating as an independent private practice for more than 70 years (founded circa 1950). The firm employs more than 30 specialized lawyers organized into multidisciplinary teams covering every major legal domain — corporate and commercial law, family law, criminal law, employment and social security law, construction and real estate law, tax law, insolvency, liability/insurance/traffic law, privacy, intellectual property, and administrative/government law — with dedicated units for Mediation (Team Bemiddeling) and Regulatory Compliance (Team Compliance).

The firm serves three primary client segments: individuals (particulieren), businesses (ondernemingen), and government entities (overheden). Gevaco offers the full legal service stack — advising, mediation, negotiation, and defense — delivered through direct office consultations and a website contact channel. It has no proprietary technology platform; client engagement is supported by a website with editorial content, a long-running newsletter distributed since 1995, and an unusually active social media presence including TikTok (where short educational videos on legal questions have reached audiences in the tens of thousands), Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

Revenue is generated through professional-services billing on individual client matters across the three segments; no pricing model, fee schedule, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed. The firm is managed by Koen Steenberghs and operates with no disclosed parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or external investors, consistent with a traditional partner-managed law firm structure.
