Frequently asked questions

  • Call or email us and we will be glad to speak to you in person. You will receive a response within 24 hours, usually from the lawyer (advocaat) who will also be handling your case.

  • For an initial assessment of your case and the first letter, we agree a fixed fee in advance. So you know where you stand from the outset. After that, we discuss where the case stands and what the next step will cost, in advance and in writing.

  • We work in Dutch, German and English. Our Rechtsanwälte speak Dutch, so you can discuss a German case in Dutch as well as in English or German.

  • Our head office is at Keizersgracht 62 in Amsterdam. We also have offices in Hamburg, Extertal and London. We can meet at whichever location suits you best, or by video call.

  • A Rechtsanwalt is a lawyer admitted to practise in Germany. Bavelaar Advocaten includes both Dutch lawyers (advocaten) and Rechtsanwälte, so we can advise you under Dutch and German law and litigate in both countries.

  • Yes. Bavelaar Advocaten is a member of IR Global, an international network of independent law firms. Through that network, we can help you quickly and expertly in more than 155 jurisdictions.

  • We would like to hear if you are not satisfied. Please discuss it with your lawyer (advocaat) first. If you cannot resolve it together, you can submit a complaint under our internal complaints procedure. Mr. Dr. P. Bavelaar LL.M. acts as complaints officer.
