ATRIUS Advocaten

What ATRIUS Advocaten does

ATRIUS Advocaten is a Belgian cooperative law firm (cv, KBO 0508.766.087) headquartered in Herentals with a secondary office in Antwerp, serving Flemish SMEs and private individuals across more than fifteen legal domains. The firm operates as a multi-disciplinary practice covering corporate and business law, M&A, employment law, construction and real estate, environmental and spatial planning, insurance, personal injury, traffic, family, criminal, bankruptcy and reorganisation, and VME (co-owners' association) matters. Three co-founders anchor the practice — Guido Wuyts (bar since 1976), Ans Leysen (2004), Sofie Papen (2006) — supported by a total team of 15 lawyers and 4 administrative staff organized in specialized cells (e.g., corporate, insurance, construction, M&A, insolvency).

The firm monetizes primarily through standard hourly billing at €135-€300 (excl. VAT) indexed annually to the consumer price index, with family mediation priced at €150 per joint session. A subscription-style annual Incasso (debt collection) contract at €150/year provides a small recurring revenue line and includes registered reminders, solvability screening via a national bailiff network, and judicial proceedings; performance fees apply on certain matters (minimum 3% of recovered or saved amounts). Distribution is direct: free initial consultations (in-person or by phone), regional in-person offices, telephone/email intake, and an embedded referral network via VOKA, UNIZO, Antwerp Bar expert groups, and the firm's VLAIO KMO-portefeuille registration (DV.A220595) that enables SME clients to claim government subsidies of 20-30%. Sub-brands Atrius Bemiddeling (certified mediation/collaborative law) and Salduz-bijstand (police-station assistance) extend the core legal offering.
