Sjöcrona van Stigt

What do we do?
Since 1992, we at Sjöcrona Van Stigt have dedicated ourselves solely to defending criminal cases. Our team currently consists of 16 defense lawyers and 2 paralegals, working from our offices in Rotterdam and The Hague.

Our reputation, both in the Netherlands and abroad, is impeccable due to our successes and our proverbial discretion.

Our specialists provide legal assistance in criminal proceedings, both before and during the court process; at first instance, on appeal and before the Supreme Court in cassation; and also before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.

Often, prevention is better than cure. Unsettling interest from the police and judicial authorities can often be prevented by sound and timely advice, for instance on anti bribery – and anti money laundering legislation, on health and safety policies, on compliance with permit conditions and other compliance issues. We also advise on possible criminal responsibilities at management level and in supervisory boards.

Clear-cut, practical and goal-driven assistance: this is what you can expect from us.

Whom do we help?
Most of our clients are from the corporate world. We assist both SMEs and listed, international companies. Authorities and private individuals can also count on us. Our services are often requested via business service suppliers such as tax consultants, accountants and lawyers who are not specialised in our areas of expertise.

We also often work with other criminal defense lawyers, both from the Netherlands and from abroad.

Discretion guaranteed
We have adopted a restrictive press policy. We will approach the media only if and when it serves the case, and not without the client’s prior permission.
