Dutch and German law under one roof

We assist businesses in matters that cross the border between the Netherlands and Germany

Our firm brings together lawyers (advocaten) who spent thirty years as partners at major firms. No layers, no intermediaries, no passing your file from one desk to the next. You speak to the lawyer who handles your case.

Our clients are businesses and entrepreneurs: from the Dutch subsidiary of a German parent company to a trader with a cross-border dispute. We also take on cases that have stalled elsewhere, for example on appeal.

Horses are a world of their own

A purchase that turns out not to be what it seemed. A vetting that is challenged. A dispute with a yard, a dealer or a breeder, often with a German party on the other side. Equine law is a specialism in its own right for us, and we know the world in which it plays out.
