More than 80 percent of our law is administrative law...

An administrative law lawyer is therefore needed sooner than you might think.

What can you do against (un)lawful government decisions, such as roadworks, that make your business premises inaccessible for months? What can you do against an unfavorable change in the zoning plan that threatens your operations? How likely is your appeal against a rejected permit, and how can you challenge an enforcement order?

These are just a few examples of the many varied topics covered by administrative law. Administrative law addresses the legal relationship between the government and citizens and is by far the most comprehensive area of law within legal practice. It establishes rules that administrative bodies must follow, thereby protecting citizens from government decisions. Although administrative law is meant to be accessible, it includes an immense amount of constantly changing laws and regulations. We stay up-to-date with recent developments and know our way around this dynamic legal field. With up-to-date knowledge at hand and a pragmatic approach, we are ready to guide you through administrative law and provide you with advice. We also support you in administrative legal proceedings.
