Business Service Lawyers

Business services are among the fastest growing branches of industry in the Netherlands. If we include agency workers, this sector has more employees than the entire sector. Most business services companies are small and have ten members of staff or less. The threshold to start a business is low, as the provision of business services does in general demand relatively few investments in buildings, machines and stocks. As a legal firm, we ourselves form part of this diverse sector.

The lawyers of Leeman Verheijden Huntjens work closely together with a number of civil-law notaries from Rotterdam and various regional accountancy firms. Clients are also referred to one another if there is such a need. The fact that they are seen as a good and reliable partner by these parties is a big compliment for our firm.

Our client portfolio includes IT companies, accountants, tax specialists, facilities service providers and estate agents.  Our team advises them during internal issues about structure and collaboration, but also in the case of mergers, dissolution and the realisation of joint ventures. We are also closely involved in preparing and concluding contracts, general terms and conditions and we provide advice about employment contracts and reorganisations. Our litigation lawyers are ready for any legal proceedings.

Judicial sale of vessels

1 September 2016|

The Netherlands is a suitable jurisdiction to enforce claims against ships. The arrest of vessels is a broadly used manner to obtain payment or security for a long outstanding claim. It is not always that vessels are subsequently released. Especially where various parties arrest a vessel there is always a risk that the vessel will not leave port in the same ownership. With a certain frequency seagoing vessels are sold before the Dutch Courts through a judicial sale by public auction.
