Dutch Law Institute
About us - the Dutch Law Institute in Amsterdam
What is the Dutch Law Institute?
The Dutch Law Institute is a Dutch NGO, now in the process of being established by a number of lawyers in the Netherlands.
It aims to be an independent and preeminent centre of expertise in the fast-expanding fields of Dutch contract law, Dutch employment law, Dutch business law and legal proceedings in the Netherlands.
The Dutch Law Institute is publishing an online English guide on Dutch contract law, Dutch employment law, Dutch business law and litigation in the Netherlands. This legal guide is edited by a number of selected experts on Dutch law. With this publication, the Institute intends to increase the accessibility of Dutch law.
Apart from these legal services and outreach activities our legal affairs bureau and research institute pursues a number of other activities to promote the accessibility of these fields of Dutch law, like providing commentary in (inter)national media, giving policy advice, and organizing lectures, seminars and other events.
Founder and Executive Director:
Jan Willem de Groot (who is a lawyer in the Netherlands) is the initiator and founder of the Dutch Law Institute. Currently, he is also a member of the Institute's executive board. Jan Willem is responsible for (a) the overall direction in which this NGO will move and (b) managing the day-to-day activities of the Institute. Mrs Amanda Bakker-Korhonen is the Institute's office manager, its welcoming face and its innovative and empathic problem solver.
