As a valued client you always have our highest priority

We welcome all types of clients. We make no distinction between individuals and companies. Our growing legal practice has a wide variety of regular clients, including local businesses, contractors, temporary employment agencies, company directors, human resource managers, politicians, independent professionals (such as architects, accountants, doctors, fellow lawyers) and employees (including foreign employees) with varied occupations (for example lorry drivers, cleaners, builders, administrative workers, sales managers and nursing staff). We also advise and act for multi-national companies and insurers from time to time. We have a wealth of experience in both the manufacturing industry and the knowledge industry.

Crystal clear about your risks and chances

Swart & De Schepper Advocaten believes that all relevant facts must be uncovered during an intake meeting by means of critical and sharp questioning, so we cannot only adequately assess our chances and possibilities to be put in the right together with our clients, but also to look at the risks involved, so they can be taken into account. With us agreements on fees are always clear in advance, whereby we keep a keen eye on a proper balance between costs and revenues.

In accordance with our rules of conduct, as a lawyers' office we need to "bear in mind that a settlement out of court is often preferable to a lawsuit". Ultimately, fighting parties rather have a speedy and practical solution to their conflict than go through a time-consuming risky procedure. A good lawyer understands this and will strive for a swift, practical, amicable solution first and foremost. Luckily, experience has taught us that the major part of all conflicts can actually be solved for you cost-effectively and within an acceptable time span.

If a case has to be taken to court nonetheless, everyone wants one thing only: to win. At least we do. For you and for ourselves. That's why we approach cases like pitbulls. The results are often positive, as you can read in various professional magazines. Our evaluation forms - completed by our clients afterwards - also show that the results are often exactly as we had anticipated. In the end, what really matters to us is that you are satisfied.

If you are involved in a conflict unlooked-for and unwished-for, we at Swart & De Schepper Advocaten will gladly help you to make the best of the unpleasant situation, and get the best out of it for you as well.

Yours sincerely,

Swart & De Schepper Advocaten,
Marco C.J. Swart, LL M
