About

Provided by Van Doorne

Van Doorne is the firm for the public/semi-public sector. We translate our high-quality and always up-to-date legal expertise into practical and long-term solutions for all facets of public enterprise. Administrators of the State, provinces, municipalities and independent administrative bodies engage us. We also assist public-sector companies, like ports and airports and transport companies, as well as (other) commercial parties who want to work together or, on the contrary, have conflicts with public authorities. As we focus on both government and business, we understand both sides' interests like no other and know our way around the administrative-political playing field extremely well. Besides being creative sparring partners and advisers, we are true litigators: we regularly litigate in the (highest) administrative courts and also in civil cases on disputes with the government.
