Jean-Christophe Beyers graduated in 2011 with honours from the Catholic University of Leuven as a Master of Law. Already during his undergraduate years, he developed a keen interest in public law, especially environmental law management in the broadest sense of the term.
Before joining GSJ advocaten, Jean-Christophe worked as a lawyer in the Flanders Spatial Management Department and as a researcher at the Institute for Environmental and Energy Law (Catholic University of Leuven). He is still invited to give talks every year as guest lecturer on the De Nayer campus.
In 2016, Jean-Christophe started working at GSJ and joined the Bar of Antwerp. As a member of the Administrative and Environmental Management Law team, he currently focuses mainly on cases pertaining to the many and varied facets of environmental management law.
As a legal expert in these fields, he provides private clients, commercial concerns and public authorities with legal advice and guidance and helps them navigate the ins and outs of court proceedings.
