client stories

In the field of Labour Law, we have now found Peter Verheijden and Lisa Kloot of LVH Lawyers as our sparring partners through a common network for 4 years now. And more than that. As an entrepreneurial company in Rotterdam, we greatly appreciate their direct way of contacting us. And when the going gets tough, which you cannot always predict in advance, they indicate the right steps to take or not to take. Being able to trust this is crucial, because straight can ever be instinctively ‘crooked’ and have its own logic.

Peter and Lisa thus have their own input: from the process and from the content. A golden combination that is simultaneously open to our practice and views and literally there when things get tense. They connect to what is going on. That makes it strong. We are really doing it together with outcomes that are supported so far, without forgetting the person behind the case. What is also cool is that they actively share their knowledge by organising meetings at their great office and thanks to initiatives that are more project-based. That way, you get to know each other even better. An absolute win-win situation that, as far as I am concerned, will last for a long time to come.

Hilde Beckers, Verstegen Spices & Sauces B.V.

We have been clients of LVH since 2013 and extremely satisfied. For drafting contracts etc, we always get good advice. They think with you and are honest.

Ferry van den Berg, director JB Groep

We have used the services of numerous Dutch firms, including an Amsterdam Zuid as Office firm and subsequently included LVH.

After the first week with LVH we terminated the others including the large Amsterdam zuid as law firm.

As we are an Anglo-Dutch firm run by a US Lawyer, and a former big 4 partner in the professional services industry. We found that with LVH we had no issues with English legal to English to Dutch, as nothing was lost in translation or created a miscommunication situation. The difference between common law understanding and practice and civil law requirements and processes was eloquently explained in a concise manner, without turning it into a legalistic discussion and losing the case focus/time and casuistry.

The LVH way of casuistry treatment gave us a number of insights that we could not have imagined of in any other way in advance, and was never presented earlier with the others.

LVH managed to inform us in such a manner that we had a clear legal strategy, which was subsequently translated to a colloquial/understandable format. We were continually informed and updated in a pleasant direct manner, which in turn was very relieving to us. This also included operating in different time zones and availability/flexibility of LVH.

Never did we get the feeling of “scope creep”, engagement exploiting or being confronted with unexpected costs and or expenses.

In short; we felt that LVH acted as part of our situation and not standing on the side-line shouting legalistic witticisms.

This is the first time we have written a public review, and strongly recommend this Firm.

Michael Farrell, senior partner Strategic Trade Alliance

As a business owner, I have enjoyed working with LVH Advocaten as my legal partner over the past few years, and I am very satisfied with the services they have provided. LVH has a team of highly professional and knowledgeable lawyers who have always helped me in an excellent way. They were always easily accessible and responded quickly to my queries and legal issues. Although they are very professional and knowledgeable, I also find the informal dealings a plus. This makes for pleasant cooperation and a sense of trust. In short, I can wholeheartedly recommend LVH Advocaten to other entrepreneurs looking for professional legal advice and support.

Oskar van Gelderen, BBQ Green Egg Store

For years, LVH Advocaten has been the advisor who hits exactly the right note for me: real advice from a good mix of specialists who think in terms of possibilities. An excellent adviser and sparring partner in difficult matters.

H.B. Determann

We have had very good experiences with LVH Advocaten for several years now. The firm is characterised by a thorough Rotterdam down-to-earth work mentality, accompanied by excellent expertise. In our most recent collaboration, Mr R.C. Steenhoek assisted us as a consultant during the settlement of a bankruptcy. Thanks to his extensive experience as a receiver, Mr Steenhoek is very knowledgeable about these processes. He is very approachable, knows the important details, thinks many steps ahead and comes up with a clear plan of action. During the settlement of the bankruptcy with the receiver, Mr Steenhoek represented us excellently. We are very satisfied with the result achieved and are convinced that without his expertise we would not have been able to settle this in this way.

P.E. van Erk

We approached LVH Lawyers for advice to end the case in a careful and competent manner. This was resolved completely in a practical manner and within a very short period of time. Rob always had his full attention to my story. It was settled in a very neat way. The cooperation was perfect!
