Did you receive a summons?

Being summoned (served personally by a bailiff or left in a closed envelope in your mailbox) is a serious matter. With the summons, you are taken to court by your counterparty (e.g. your business partner), which means that your counterparty will call upon the court to rule on your conflict.

The summons will explain what the conflict is about and on what day and time you have to appear in court.

The summons is drawn up in Dutch by a lawyer or a bailiff, which means that your counterparty has already engaged professional help.

Do not throw the document away or in a drawer, but call a lawyer immediately!

Engage a lawyer

If you don’t take action and leave it as it is, the judge will agree with the other party (because you have not instructed a lawyer to represent you to show your version of the situation) and render a judgement against you, which may be executed directly.

Contact us urgently, as soon as you receive a summons, to find out in time what we can do for you.

Tenancy Law And Real Estate

Tenancy law has never been as high on many entrepreneurs' agendas as during the Covid pandemic and the government-mandated closures of the hospitality, retail and cultural sectors. The rents stipulated in the leases proved unattainable and the lucky few tenants were offered temporary rent reductions by their landlords.

International Private Law

International Private Law (IPL) is an area of law that plays an important role in cross-border (international) matters. This area of law determines, among other things, which international court is competent, which law is applicable, but also whether a foreign judgment is eligible for recognition and enforcement in the Netherlands and, of course, vice versa.

Corporate Law

Business law regulates the delicate balance between the entrepreneur's freedom to conduct his business as he sees fit and the legal regulation of his activities - their rights and obligations.
