About us
For more than 25 years, the law firm of the neighbourhood in Amsterdam West.
Our firm
Baarsjes Law Firm was founded in 1997 and has been based on the Hoofdweg in Amsterdam West ever since. It is deliberately a small firm — no expensive overheads, no large organisation between you and your lawyer. The lines are direct.
The philosophy is simple: good legal help should be accessible, whatever your situation. Whether you are walking into a lawyer's office for the first time or have been litigating for years — you get the same attention and the same quality.
