Environmental Law

Environmental law is a dynamic area of law that deals with the regulation of the physical environment. Its purpose is to manage the interaction between human activities and the natural environment so as to limit environmental damage and promote sustainable development. This includes rules for spatial planning, environmental protection, and permitting.

Confidence for now and the future

‘Hendrik Geffroy and his team have been supporting our organisation on legal issues for many years. We experience the expertise, solution orientation, availability and listening to the needs and interests of both our organisation and employees as distinctive in our contacts. That makes our pleasant cooperation unique and we rely on it for now and in the future.’

Quality and focus of content

‘As director of three higher education institutions so far, I have been working with Van Veen lawyers for 20 years. Without exception to my great satisfaction. They deliver substantive quality and sharpness, but what is certainly important for directors: they think strategically well and are not afraid to advise against your own ideas. In addition, their way of communicating is excellent: pleasant to deal with, operationally attentive, businesslike. All in all, the value for money is excellent.’

All the specialisations we need

‘As a fast-growing organisation, we are developing rapidly and regularly need legal advice. At Van Veen Advocaten we find all the specialisms we need, from advice on legal forms and contracts with suppliers and franchisees to employment law and legal support for government tenders. It is very nice for us to have a single point of contact who knows our business well. Sometimes I also need an immediate answer to make a decision, in which case it is just a phone call away. Their quick and effective support gives us the confidence so that we can fully focus on doing business.’

Practical solutions that suit us well

‘As a manufacturing company, we benefit greatly from a law firm that really understands how we work. Van Veen thinks along with us and comes up with practical solutions that suit us well.
