Tracing mobilities and socio-political activism

Our lawyers can of course inform you about that in detail, but on this page you will be able to find a short explanation beforehand. In the Netherlands, that means a criminal lawyer with knowledge of the laws and regulations regarding drug offenses. You can contact us by phone, after which we will match you to such a lawyer.

The countries of which laws are applicable to the contracts that underlie the conflicts could specify which country’s law should be preferred or in which country a legal battle has to be fought. In principle that could be for any case you could think of. But at advocaatzoeken.nl we noticed that a couple of legal themes stand out. Private persons and businesses mostly contact us about the practice areas listed below. We noticed that we get approached by international clients regarding patens relatively often. On our page regarding intellectual property you can find additional information in Dutch. One can sketch the legal possibilities, the chances of success and the expected timeline for the handling of your case. Based on that you can make the consideration whether or not it is a good idea to collaborate with this lawyer or law firm. You are free to choose to let the case rest or to find a lawyer that better fits your needs after that initial contact – which is in fact a kind of quotation. Based on our knowledge of the Dutch legal industry, we realize a preliminary selection of potentially fitting lawyers. It is useful to have some knowledge of the Dutch legal system when you are a foreign private person or have a non-Dutch company and have a legal conflict that has to appear in court in the Netherlands – at least briefly. If you do not agree with the judgment, you can ask the court to review your case by filing an appeal. As a last resort you subsequently have the opportunity to submit your case to the Crown Court (‘Hoge Raad’). Our platform has nationwide coverage, so we can always arrange a lawyer for you who is close to you and who has the appropriate knowledge. In transboundary cases, the law in the country of the opposing party can also play a significant role, in addition to Dutch law. A lawyer that is trained in Dutch law but also has significant knowledge of the international practice, is highly recommended in transboundary cases. Immigration law is – logically – a jurisdiction of law in which a lawyer who is fluent in English is a benefit. Amsterdam is by far the lawyer capital of the Netherlands. Almost one third of all Dutch lawyers operate out of Amsterdam, for the most parts in the Amsterdam city center area and in the south side of Amsterdam (‘Zuidas’). All lawyers affiliated with advocaatzoeken.nl very well informed in regards to Dutch law and procedures. Even though most regulations related to immigration law simply relate to a stay here in the Netherlands, there are still various forms of residence within this jurisdiction. One could have the need for a residence permit for entrepreneurs (self-employment visa) or skilled migrants (highly skilled migrant worker permit), a visa for a family visit (family visitor visa) or a residence permit for college students. Immigration law also regards permanent residency in the Netherlands. The conceptualization of intermediary persons as ‘rooted cosmopolitans’ (Sidney Tarrow), ‘mobilizers’ (Greenblatt) and ‘contact zones’ seem promising notions to unravel mobilities. In technology, construction, logistics, aerospace, computer software (and hardware), etc. In each case of a new invention, one can apply for a patent, to prevent another party to run off with your invention unsolicited. The patent applications go via a patent agent – generally the lawyer. Generally, a patent is only valid for one particular country. It could be sufficient to request a patent for the Netherlands, that should be the case if you only trade in the Netherlands.
