Firm Description

We are among the top-ranked law firms in the Netherlands and specialise in protecting our clients against investigating and sanctioning actions by regulatory, supervisory and other law enforcement authorities.

Clear, pragmatic and aimed at problem solving. These are the characteristics of our approach. We render legal assistance throughout the Netherlands and, on occasion, abroad. In our two offices, we employ specialists that are well versed in all areas of criminal law. This allows us to offer the highest quality, swiftly and effectively, in any criminal law matter.

Since 1992 our many successes have gained us an excellent reputation, both nationally and internationally.

Our motto ‘high profile, low key’ guarantees we will keep actual cases out of the public eye, unless this would be in the client’s best interest and then only with the client’s consent. This is the reason why the name of our firm is not widely known among the general public. We don’t mind, nor do our clients.

Our team is composed of twenty advocates (combining the functions that in Anglo-Saxon systems are performed by solicitors and barristers). Lines of communication are short, ensuring ongoing coordination and consultation among the advocates. Our advocates are members of the Dutch Association of Defence Counsel, co-founded by Jan Sjöcrona in 1993.

Our advocates can boast vast experience and regularly lecture or speak at conferences, both at home and abroad. This concentration of knowledge, pertinent extracurricular activities and commitment ensures swift and balanced legal advice.
