De Koning Vergouwen Advocaten

What De Koning Vergouwen Advocaten does

De Koning Vergouwen Advocaten (DKVA) is a privately held Dutch law firm founded in 1985 and headquartered at Sophialaan 33-35 in Amsterdam. With 33 employees, the firm operates as a mid-sized, full-service generalist practice covering four core areas: Arbeidsrecht (labor law), Civiel- en ondernemingsrecht (civil and corporate law), Bestuursrecht (administrative law), and Onroerend goed (real estate law). It serves both individual and business clients, positioning itself with a low-threshold, accessible service model that emphasizes collaboration between lawyers and legal staff.

The business model is straightforward professional services: revenue is generated through hourly rates and project- or matter-based fees billed to clients, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is direct — clients engage via phone, email, or in-person appointments at the Amsterdam office, which operates Monday through Friday from 08:30 to 18:00. Marketing is anchored on a content-rich website with weekly blog posts, supported by LinkedIn and Facebook pages and an email newsletter subscription funnel; international cross-border matters are handled via the Globaladvocaten referral network rather than foreign offices. Partnerships with Lawyers for Lawyers and Pro Bono Club reflect a secondary commitment to rule-of-law and pro bono work.

Technically, DKVA runs on standard law firm technology infrastructure with no proprietary software, no public API, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. The firm maintains an active digital presence through its website (dekoningvergouwen.nl) and social channels, but the underlying product remains human-delivered legal advice. No funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership changes, or subsidiaries are disclosed, consistent with an independently owned partnership-style practice.
