English-speaking lawyers in Rijswijk

English-speaking lawyers in Rijswijk see many clients from the international community around The Hague. Staff of the European Patent Office, international organisations and nearby embassies live here. Their families add schoolchildren, partners in search of work and a fair share of tenancy questions.

In Rijswijk, employment issues come first, including contracts with international employers, dismissal and the 30 percent ruling for highly skilled migrants. Residence permits through the IND, rental disputes, deposit claims and service charges follow. Families ask about divorce, child relocation and recognition of foreign marriages. Staff of international organisations sometimes face special immunity rules, which need specific advice.

Courts here fall under the Rechtbank Den Haag, and hearings are in Dutch. Some commercial cases can go to the Netherlands Commercial Court in English, but that is the exception. Documents from abroad may need an apostille and a sworn translation. Every advocaat is listed in the register of the Nederlandse Orde van Advocaten.
