About Van Doorne
Van Doorne are a large independent Dutch law firm located in Amsterdam. We are an informal, open organisation where people are encouraged to be themselves, develop initiatives and take responsibility. Creativity and an open mind are essential if you want to look at an issue from different perspectives. That is why we attach so much importance to diversity. It results in better solutions for our clients. And if they can operate successfully, we have achieved our goal. The effects of our approach are reflected in the awards and various high rankings we receive in Chambers and Legal 500. However, what is more important to us is that our clients, for whom we have been working for many years now, appreciate us for the personal relationship, the attention and commitment.
