Who we are
Niche law firm
Welcome at Zaalberg & Van Dolder, an unconventional boutique law firm having its inspiring head office in a rural location about 30 km north of Amsterdam. For city centre business meetings, we also have a location including a conference room available at the Keizersgracht in Amsterdam.
We specialize in profound research in complex cases governed by civil law and public law. Cases that we handle are mainly associated with legal proceedings. We deeply investigate the facts and context of a matter, the legal consequences thereof and the diverging options for solutions. We are taking the extra mile for finding the key to success for our clients’ matters. We are sincerely proud of our profession, our clients and our successes.
Our background is not only formed in the ‘legal world’, but also in the public domain, in projects relating to business administration and in the very practical ‘workers environment’. With this broad spectrum of experiences, we excel at understanding our clients’ needs. This quality sets up apart from our peers and delivers success for our clients.
