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.
A lot of people who are here for a shorter or longer time, are required to have a visa or residence permit. For expats, other themes play an important part, beside acquiring a residence permit. Do the working conditions have to be amended because of the stay abroad? For questions like these, it is recommendable to get yourself informed by a lawyer who has a good understanding of business.
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.
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.
The immigrant comes from outside of the Netherlands, maybe even from outside the European Union, after all, and has a reason to want to reside in the Netherlands, whether that is temporary or not. There are many law firms in the Netherlands, but which one will match your needs? At advocaatzoeken.nl we know – almost – all Dutch law firms and lawyers so we can quickly help you find the best lawyer for your case. You have been arrested because you – allegedly – were involved in drug trade or are suspected of a related offense. If you have been arrested by the police for that reason and you are – temporarily – incarcerated, you need a lawyer from the country where you were arrested, at least initially.
Conditionally, a non-Dutch national can be naturalized to become a Dutch citizen and therefore acquire a Dutch passport. In order to be able to appropriately guide and assess a couple of things, lawyers need a proper knowledge of Dutch immigration law; apart from that a sufficient knowledge of the various trade agreement (including the Treaty of Amity and Commerce) and/or friendship treaties is also required. If you have any questions regarding immigration law, you can contact us. We assess your law question for free and refer you to a lawyer who can help you; free of obligation. There are all kinds of different reasons for wanting to move to the Netherlands, but in all those example immigration law is applicable.
All lawyers affiliated with advocaatzoeken.nl are registered at the Dutch Order of Lawyers (‘Nederlandse Orde van Advocaten’). This doctoral workshop will explore to what extent the notion of “mobility” in current cultural and social theory (eg. Stephen Greenblatt, John Urry) can be fruitfully applied in historical research. Mobilities can be seen as cross-border movements of persons, objects, texts and ideas. How can we grasp mobility of people and ideas in the spheres of politics, learning and the arts? Within this context, we focus on the involvement of social, legal and educational reformers and other kinds of socio-political activists in (temporary) transnational intellectual networks on the one hand and their activities at home on the other.
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’).
