HILOSOPHY AND METHOD OF WORKING.

Real estate matters can be very complex. This complexity does not necessarily relate solely to the legal aspects of the matter. A case can also be complex because it is difficult to identify the relevant facts. In addition, circumstantial elements, such as the number of parties and/or people involved, time pressure, political forces and exposure to company politics can sometimes impact the matter.

In complex negotiations or litigation matters relating to real estate Gerretsen Advocatuur can serve as your critical and independent sparring partner. Adopting a pragmatic approach and solution, overseeing the legal playing field but also having an eye for the importance of commercial continuity. And if necessary, Gerretsen Advocatuur can manage the matter on your behalf.

TRUSTED ADVISOR

Gerretsen Advocatuur strives to build a relationship with its clients in which it can act as a valued and trusted advisor focusing on the key critical issues: its own knowledge and experience may contribute to the solution, but there may also be other ways leading to Rome.

At Gerretsen Advocatuur a solid knowledge of real estate law and more than 25 years of legal experience in real estate are combined in one person.

Someone who will manage to gain the trust of others and thus help you when setting up new business ventures. Who, by listening carefully, can translate your thoughts into words.

PROACTIVELY THINKING ALONG WITH YOU

Gerretsen Advocatuur can join your internal or external meetings periodically or at your request.

Gerretsen Advocatuur like discussing with you at an early stage how any problems, real or potential, can best be avoided or solved.

MANAGING MATTERS ON YOUR BEHALF

Together we can select from this netwerk the best qualified person for the matter concerned.
