Boels Zanders Advocaten

Administrative Law

Jan advises companies, institutions and public authorities on administrative law. The law is a profession full of surprises, in which he absolutely focuses on the long term. In his work, Jan likes to advocate for our beautiful Limburg countryside. His areas of focus are therefore planning and environmental law, area development and government liability.

Jan has extensive experience as a litigator in administrative law and litigates regularly before the Dutch Council of State. For example, he has been involved in various regional development projects, permit procedures for IPPC companies and major soil and surface water contamination cases.

He regards Boels Zanders as a professional and passionate service provider for clients, and a warm, informal club where colleagues enjoy working. He is the first point of contact for the Administrative Law expert group and is closely involved in the Education sector, among others. He also holds board positions, including at the Prince Bernhard Fund Limburg.

Jan studied at Maastricht University and Boalt Hall School of Law (University of California, Berkeley). He also completed the post-doctoral Master Program on International Legal Cooperation at Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Jan started his career at De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek. He joined Boels Zanders in 1998, where he became a partner a few years later.
