About

Provided by Dirkzwager

Liability & Insurance

The Liability and Insurance department is one of the top three in the Netherlands. We owe this position to the input provided by an expert group of specialised lawyers with a result-orientated approach.

The Liability and Insurance department mainly provides advice and litigates for insurance companies and businesses, both on a national and international level. Commissioned by liability insurers, we also provide services to their insured persons, in other words, to businesses, authorities and private individuals in their professional capacity.

Our client base mainly consists of many Dutch and international (re)insurance companies (and their insureds) and insurance brokers. Our department is regularly involved in major and complex disputes, also cross-border/international, both before civil courts as in (international) arbitration.
