De Clercq Advocaten Notariaat

De Clercq Attorneys Notary is a leading Dutch law firm based in Leiden and The Hague. Since our foundation in 1850, we have always looked ahead — anticipating opportunities for both our clients and our firm.

We believe that progress requires not only vision, but also focus. That is why we have chosen to specialise in a select number of legal areas and industries. Within these fields, we closely monitor developments, assess their impact, and translate them into practical and inventive legal solutions.

We support:

• entrepreneurs who want to seize opportunities and grow
• governments aiming for optimal execution of their public duties
• works councils that want to represent their members constructively, and
• individuals in need of notarial services.

At De Clercq, we take the time to truly understand our clients’ needs. This enables us to deliver tailored, pragmatic advice that helps them navigate an increasingly complex legal and business environment.

With a strong international focus, we assist clients both in the Netherlands and abroad. Through our extensive global network, we provide seamless support in cross-border transactions and international legal matters. Wherever you do business, we ensure you have access to the right expertise.
