About WILLEMS SCHMIDT<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

WILLEMS SCHMIDT Advocaten & Rechtsanw\u00e4lte<\/span><\/h3>

WILLEMS SCHMIDT Advocaten & Rechtsanw\u00e4lte is a law firm with a commercial practice. The office, founded in 1948, is present in Amsterdam and D\u00fcsseldorf. One of the lawyers has been admitted to the bar in Germany, where, in cooperation with German lawyers, advice and litigation is given under German law.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Clients<\/span><\/h3>

We advise and represent large and small companies, both nationally and internationally. We also represent private interests, especially when these are closely related to companies belonging to our clientele.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Process<\/span><\/h3>

The objective of our firm: \u201cstriving for ‘the right balance’\u201d, is reflected in the way in which clients’ affairs are handled. The interests of the client always come first. We establish and maintain direct lines of communication with the client. We act in a cost-efficient and expeditious manner, whereby quality is paramount under all circumstances. Cost efficiency is promoted by the layout and structure of the office; we work together with colleagues located elsewhere who have added value to us through their knowledge and experience. This enables a wide range of services at competitive prices without additional overhead.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Specialists<\/span><\/h3>

The specialists with whom we maintain close contact \u2013 lawyers and jurists elsewhere, civil-law notaries, tax advisers, criminal lawyers and specialist EU law experts \u2013 may be asked to assist us in dealing with matters beyond our scope if necessary. In case our clients have already established contacts with such specialists, maintaining these relationships is encouraged.<\/p>\n

When deemed appropriate, second opinions are requested from relevant experts admitted to the Bar or affiliated with universities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
