Why BAAKN Lawyers chose BluePoint Antwerp: “We wanted to get rid of the outdated gold-nameplate-on-the-door model “
When Steven Geerts and his partner Benjamin De Roeck founded the law firm BAAKN, in January 2022, they knew immediately that they did not want to end up in a classic office building. Not a stately facade with a golden nameplate, but a modern, future-oriented place that reflects their vision: to offer legal advice with full focus on the client, without fuss. They found that place at BluePoint Antwerp.

Ready from day one : “It’s like getting a quick head-start”
BAAKN is the result of a merger between two established firms in the Antwerp and Klein-Brabant region. The founders wanted to start again from scratch and build a future-ready office, with digitalisation and cost efficiency as core values.
They extended this innovative thinking to their workplace as well. BluePoint Antwerp offered them exactly what they were looking for: a fully equipped office, with all services included – from reception to coffee, cleaning and maintenance.
“The greatest luxury here? That we really only have to concern ourselves with our work,” says Steven Geerts. “There is always someone available, even if a window gets stuck. Little things like that – you don’t want to break your head over that.”

Flexible growth without worries
BAAKN started small, with four people. Meanwhile, the team has ten employees, eight of whom are lawyers. Thanks to BluePoint’s flexible formulas, they were able to expand and hire additional offices without any problems.
“That kind of scalability is rare,” says Geerts. “If you own your own premises, you’re stuck. Here, the space just grows with us.”
Moreover, BAAKN was able to fully customise their office space down to the colour of the carpet and the type of doors. This freedom made the team feel right at home.

Networking, well-being and sport at work: ‘We form a real community’
What BAAKN didn’t expect but greatly appreciates at BluePoint is the sense of connection. Not only with their own team, but also with the other tenants and BluePoint staff.
“We now organise a sports activity every week. Through WhatsApp, we invite other tenants. That creates fun contacts as well as an unexpected business network,” smiles Geerts.
BluePoint also provides the perfect setting for their annual event “Rooftop Talks” with clients and prominent speakers. No separate event venue needed: everything is there, right down to the catering.
| BAAKN harnesses the power of BluePoint with the Rooftop Talks: inspire with a view!
Not every law firm dares to colour outside the lines. But BAAKN does, literally and figuratively. With their annual event Rooftop Talks, they give innovative substance to client relations and knowledge sharing. In 2024, the third edition took place on the roof terrace of BluePoint Antwerp: a unique location that perfectly suits their modern and human approach. What makes BluePoint’s rooftop so special? It combines views from BluePoint Antwerp’s rooftop terrace with a professional event infrastructure. From stylish settings to technical support and customised catering: everything is in place to create a memorable experience, without you as an organiser having to think of a hundred things at once. During Rooftop Talks 2024, BAAKN brought together engaging speakers from business and academia, including Stijn Baert (UGent), Bart Steukers (Agoria) and Peter s’Jongers (Protime), for in-depth discussions on the future of work. The years before, they welcomed Prof Rik Torfs and Herman Van Rompuy. Combined with a relaxed networking atmosphere, the event became a prime example of how content and experience can reinforce each other. Inspiring insights, a relaxed networking atmosphere and the unique setting made this event another success. |
BluePoint as an event venue? Definitely an asset according to BAAKN.
Confidentiality guaranteed: no glass boxes, but real offices
Unlike many workspaces with glass walls, BluePoint offers discrete, enclosed spaces. For a law firm like BAAKN, this is essential.
“We work with confidential files. BluePoint understands that. You don’t feel like a tenant here but an owner of your separate space.”
BluePoint Antwerp x BAAKN: a partnership that works
BAAKN’s story at BluePoint is one of efficiency, flexibility and peace of mind. The combination of all-in comfort, scalability, discretion and service makes BluePoint an ideal home base for professionals who do not want to waste time with side issues.
“We have already recommended BluePoint to other entrepreneurs. That says it all, right?” concludes Steven Geerts.
