Brouwer Legal is a law firm that provides high-quality legal services in the field of commercial law and the related employment law. We are also known for our sector-specific expertise and special services. In performing these engagements we furthermore work together closely with numerous specialists in other areas.
Read More - Practice Groups and Industries
Brouwer Legal speaks the language of business. We combine our specialist legal expertise with specific knowledge of the following sectors and industries, which allows us to provide customised services.
Read More - Special Services
Brouwer Legal provides high-quality legal services. That has given rise to the following special services, which allow our multidisciplinary teams to help you solve important business issues.
Read More - Employment Law
Brouwer Legal advises and litigates on all employment issues. We provide services in all areas of employment law related to commercial law. We primarily represent employers and managing directors. We will be pleased to act as your sparring partner at an early stage. Brouwer Legal does not shy away from litigation if a solution cannot be reached out of court.
Read More - Insolvency Law
Taking calculated and acceptable risks is an essential part of doing business. Risks for your company, your employees, your customers, your credit providers and you as a business owner or managing director personally. In difficult times, but also in complex operations, such as restructurings and reorganisations, you must be able to rely on guarantees. Brouwer Legal’s experience, knowledge and commitment offer those guarantees.
Read More - Commercial Law
Our clients like to focus on the sale of products or provision of services, since that is their core business. But it is essential to carefully regulate important matters within the company to safeguard rights and avoid undesirable risks. Brouwer Legal shoulders that burden for its clients and advises on all the legal aspects involved in doing business.
Read More - Procedural Law
Litigation is a specialist field. In many areas of procedural law we, as advocaten and Rechtsanwälte, are exclusively qualified to litigate on behalf of clients. That is where we differ from lawyers who never represent clients in court. And there is good reason for this: litigation requires special expertise and skills. Expertise, skills and experience are the foundations of our litigation practice. Brouwer Legal thinks ahead, knows how judges think and focuses on the ultimate goal.
Read More - Company Law
Company law pertains to the structure and organisation of your company, among other things. Brouwer Legal can advise you on, for instance, the structure and organisation of your company and on the internal relations between the natural persons and legal entities within your company. The structure and organisation chosen may need to be changed after a legal entity has been set up. Brouwer Legal can assist you in making those changes.
Read More - Hospitality & Leisure
The hospitality and leisure industry is currently undergoing a radical change. We advise business owners in this industry on how to deal with new challenges and with major economic fluctuations. Hospitality & leisure is a unique industry, involving complex operations. Hospitality is essential to these business owners, but is often a complicated issue for attorneys. Several areas of the law come into play in the hospitality & leisure industry, which often presents special challenges, such as disputes regarding lease, purchasing agreements and brewery contracts, issues related to property, financing and security, but also personnel and acquisition issues.
Read More - Industry & Retail
The industry sector is in a state of flux. Brouwer Legal’s clients include companies in the machine building, electrical engineering and IT sectors and manufacturers of building materials. Business consultants believe that the strengths of the best industries consist of the right combination of size, know-how and niche approach. Companies are continuously specialising, which is increasing the engineering factor of their end products. In boom times Brouwer Legal advises on contracts, purchase and sales channels, legal protection of know-how, acquisitions and financing. When the tide turns, it can assist you in reorganisations, complex legal proceedings and related issues.
Read More - Information Technology & the Internet
Brouwer Legal’s offices are situated on CeeCee, a creative breeding ground. The area is characterised by companies that provide services in the fields of information technology and the Internet. No company can do without computers, a network and the Internet. That exposes them to the risk of significant loss if a computer system malfunctions or an IT services provider fails to live up to its obligations.
Read More - International Trade
Brouwer Legal helps its clients to tap new markets and to strengthen their position on existing markets. We are specialists in handling international issues, particularly those involving cross-border trade between the Netherlands and Germany.
Read More - Education
With a university and a college of advanced education within a stone’s throw and with attorneys who lecture at the HBO-Rechten law course, Brouwer Legal is well versed in the education sector. As a knowledge institute, Brouwer Legal has in-depth knowledge of the regulations that specifically apply to education. They include educational facilities, funding, compulsory attendance, accreditation and the constitutional right to freedom of education.
Read More - Sports & Healthy Lifestyle
Brouwer Legal is one of the few law firms in the Netherlands that specialises in sports law. We are at home in the playing field of sports law. Being a specialist in sports law requires more than knowledge of the applicable legislation. Knowledge of the sector and the rules of the sports associations in question, such as the KNVB (Royal Netherlands Football Association) and the Hockey Association, but also the UEFA and the FIFA, is essential in that regard.

Read More - Technology
Brouwer Legal is at the centre of a continuously changing society. Technology plays an important role in those changes. The local university has adjusted its courses accordingly: courses with an international high-quality reputation. Partly for that reason the number of companies in the region that operate in the field of technology has increased significantly these past few years. Brouwer Legal has closely monitored these developments and has contributed to them in its own way.
Read More - Transport & Logistics
Being located near the border, the region in which our offices are located plays an important role in the movement of goods and in trade; most of the overall Dutch international traffic flow runs via German. Our German Desk has extensive knowledge of German law and assists our clients in all domestic and international legal aspects of logistics services.
Read More - Start-ups
Starting up a business gives rise to many legal questions. What is the best legal form and structure for your company? What models and other contracts do you need for your employees, customers and suppliers? What role do general conditions play, what requirements must they meet and how should they be used? How can you ensure when negotiating with your contracting partner that your rights, products and ideas will be optimally protected? As a rule, start-ups do not have the legal and other experience and infrastructure required to determine their position in such negotiations. Brouwer Legal can be of assistance to start-ups.
Read More - Credit Management
Brouwer Legal assists business owners in domestic and international debt collection processes. As a business owner, you will be faced with debtors. Nowadays in particular, it is important to collect outstanding claims as soon as possible. An energetic approach is in your best interest. The collection of outstanding debts can take a great deal of time – time that you cannot spend on your core business. Brouwer Legal will make every effort to ensure that you are paid what is due to you. We will communicate with your debtor in a professional and proficient manner. If necessary, we will take prejudgment attachment or other measures, institute legal proceedings or file an insolvency petition against your debtor. Brouwer Legal will make every effort to assist you.
Read More - Mergers, Acquisitions & Joint Ventures
You wish to restructure, sell or split up your company. You wish to cooperate with another company in a joint venture or have an investor participate in your company. You wish to merge your company with another company. You wish to sell, purchase or expand a shareholding. You wish to be assisted in a management buy-out or buy-in. Without sound legal assistance, such projects often founder at an early stage. Brouwer Legal can assist and advise you in such processes. We have the expertise, experience and professional network required to optimally promote your interests.
Read More - Financing and Security
Financing issues go to the heart of your company. The availability of suitable financing is essential in doing business. Financial institutions critically assess financing arrangements and carry out risk and profitability assessments, whereby they often demand solid security. To safeguard the continuity of your company it is important to consider what arrangement best meets your needs. On the basis of the financing proposal and the security requested, Brouwer Legal can analyse their possible impact on your operations. We have relevant expertise and experience in the field of security, but also in the field of insolvency law, which is of great added value in making that analysis. It allows us to think outside the box and to help safeguard your independence. Changing the structure of your company is one of the means often used for that purpose.
Read More - Restructurings & Reorganisations
Restructurings and reorganisations are complex processes. If your company or one of its divisions is faced with financial difficulties, the question presents itself whether your company or the division in question can be made healthy again. It is essential that you obtain advice in good time. You should preferably engage Brouwer Legal before the ship is taking in water and sinking. One of the reasons why restructurings and reorganisations are so complex is the diversity of the interests involved. Managing directors, shareholders, supervisory directors, works councils, trade unions and financiers all have their own interests. It takes a great deal of experience, practical understanding and skill to persuade all of them of the need to take measures. It also requires knowledge of commercial law, company law, employment law, tax law and business economics. Brouwer Legal has the expertise and experience required and can supervise the restructuring and reorganisation process.
Read More - Doing Business Internationally
Each country has its own laws and regulations. We can help you, for instance, with your import or export plans or if you wish to relocate to another country. If you do business outside the Netherlands, Brouwer Legal will remain your designated contact. We have a large international network of attorneys, tax attorneys, accountants, tax consultants and management consultants, which allows us to assist you in doing business internationally at any time.

Read More - Insolvency Law
Taking calculated and acceptable risks is an essential part of doing business. Risks for your company, your employees, your customers, your credit providers and you as a business owner or managing director personally. In difficult times, but also in complex operations, such as restructurings and reorganisations, you must be able to rely on guarantees. Brouwer Legal’s experience, knowledge and commitment offer those guarantees.
Read More - Commercial Law
Our clients like to focus on the sale of products or provision of services, since that is their core business. But it is essential to carefully regulate important matters within the company to safeguard rights and avoid undesirable risks. Brouwer Legal shoulders that burden for its clients and advises on all the legal aspects involved in doing business.
Read More - Procedural Law
Litigation is a specialist field. In many areas of procedural law we, as advocaten and Rechtsanwälte, are exclusively qualified to litigate on behalf of clients. That is where we differ from lawyers who never represent clients in court. And there is good reason for this: litigation requires special expertise and skills. Expertise, skills and experience are the foundations of our litigation practice. Brouwer Legal thinks ahead, knows how judges think and focuses on the ultimate goal.
Read More - Company Law
Company law pertains to the structure and organisation of your company, among other things. Brouwer Legal can advise you on, for instance, the structure and organisation of your company and on the internal relations between the natural persons and legal entities within your company. The structure and organisation chosen may need to be changed after a legal entity has been set up. Brouwer Legal can assist you in making those changes.
Read More - Hospitality & Leisure
The hospitality and leisure industry is currently undergoing a radical change. We advise business owners in this industry on how to deal with new challenges and with major economic fluctuations. Hospitality & leisure is a unique industry, involving complex operations. Hospitality is essential to these business owners, but is often a complicated issue for attorneys. Several areas of the law come into play in the hospitality & leisure industry, which often presents special challenges, such as disputes regarding lease, purchasing agreements and brewery contracts, issues related to property, financing and security, but also personnel and acquisition issues.
Read More - Industry & Retail
The industry sector is in a state of flux. Brouwer Legal’s clients include companies in the machine building, electrical engineering and IT sectors and manufacturers of building materials. Business consultants believe that the strengths of the best industries consist of the right combination of size, know-how and niche approach. Companies are continuously specialising, which is increasing the engineering factor of their end products. In boom times Brouwer Legal advises on contracts, purchase and sales channels, legal protection of know-how, acquisitions and financing. When the tide turns, it can assist you in reorganisations, complex legal proceedings and related issues.
Read More - Information Technology & the Internet
Brouwer Legal’s offices are situated on CeeCee, a creative breeding ground. The area is characterised by companies that provide services in the fields of information technology and the Internet. No company can do without computers, a network and the Internet. That exposes them to the risk of significant loss if a computer system malfunctions or an IT services provider fails to live up to its obligations.
Read More - International Trade

As a knowledge institute, Brouwer Legal has in-depth knowledge of the regulations that specifically apply to education. They include educational facilities, funding, compulsory attendance, accreditation and the constitutional right to freedom of education.
Read More - Sports & Healthy Lifestyle
Brouwer Legal is one of the few law firms in the Netherlands that specialises in sports law. We are at home in the playing field of sports law. Being a specialist in sports law requires more than knowledge of the applicable legislation. Knowledge of the sector and the rules of the sports associations in question, such as the KNVB (Royal Netherlands Football Association) and the Hockey Association, but also the UEFA and the FIFA, is essential in that regard.

Brouwer Legal is at the centre of a continuously changing society. Technology plays an important role in those changes. The local university has adjusted its courses accordingly: courses with an international high-quality reputation. Partly for that reason the number of companies in the region that operate in the field of technology has increased significantly these past few years. Brouwer Legal has closely monitored these developments and has contributed to them in its own way.
Read More - Transport & Logistics
Being located near the border, the region in which our offices are located plays an important role in the movement of goods and in trade; most of the overall Dutch international traffic flow runs via German. Our German Desk has extensive knowledge of German law and assists our clients in all domestic and international legal aspects of logistics services.
Read More - Start-ups
Starting up a business gives rise to many legal questions. What is the best legal form and structure for your company? What models and other contracts do you need for your employees, customers and suppliers? What role do general conditions play, what requirements must they meet and how should they be used? How can you ensure when negotiating with your contracting partner that your rights, products and ideas will be optimally protected? As a rule, start-ups do not have the legal and other experience and infrastructure required to determine their position in such negotiations. Brouwer Legal can be of assistance to start-ups.
Read More - Credit Management
Brouwer Legal assists business owners in domestic and international debt collection processes. As a business owner, you will be faced with debtors. Nowadays in particular, it is important to collect outstanding claims as soon as possible. An energetic approach is in your best interest.

Brouwer Legal will make every effort to ensure that you are paid what is due to you. We will communicate with your debtor in a professional and proficient manner. If necessary, we will take prejudgment attachment or other measures, institute legal proceedings or file an insolvency petition against your debtor. Brouwer Legal will make every effort to assist you.
Read More - Mergers, Acquisitions & Joint Ventures
You wish to restructure, sell or split up your company. You wish to cooperate with another company in a joint venture or have an investor participate in your company. You wish to merge your company with another company. You wish to sell, purchase or expand a shareholding. You wish to be assisted in a management buy-out or buy-in. Without sound legal assistance, such projects often founder at an early stage. Brouwer Legal can assist and advise you in such processes. We have the expertise, experience and professional network required to optimally promote your interests.
Read More - Financing and Security
Financing issues go to the heart of your company. The availability of suitable financing is essential in doing business. Financial institutions critically assess financing arrangements and carry out risk and profitability assessments, whereby they often demand solid security. To safeguard the continuity of your company it is important to consider what arrangement best meets your needs. On the basis of the financing proposal and the security requested, Brouwer Legal can analyse their possible impact on your operations. We have relevant expertise and experience in the field of security, but also in the field of insolvency law, which is of great added value in making that analysis. It allows us to think outside the box and to help safeguard your independence. Changing the structure of your company is one of the means often used for that purpose.
Read More - Restructurings & Reorganisations
Restructurings and reorganisations are complex processes. If your company or one of its divisions is faced with financial difficulties, the question presents itself whether your company or the division in question can be made healthy again. It is essential that you obtain advice in good time. You should preferably engage Brouwer Legal before the ship is taking in water and sinking. One of the reasons why restructurings and reorganisations are so complex is the diversity of the interests involved. Managing directors, shareholders, supervisory directors, works councils, trade unions and financiers all have their own interests. It takes a great deal of experience, practical understanding and skill to persuade all of them of the need to take measures. It also requires knowledge of commercial law, company law, employment law, tax law and business economics. Brouwer Legal has the expertise and experience required and can supervise the restructuring and reorganisation process.
