About Meester Lawyers

Meester Advocaten has a clear mission: to be a specialist in tenancy law, corporate law, employment law, zoning plans and permits, and to be a leading authority in hospitality-related legal matters at the intersection of civil and administrative law. We go the extra mile for our clients and maintain an approachable attitude, whether for the small business owner, who equally deserves the opportunity to assert their rights with expert legal advice, or for large (inter)national chains, who want to expand in the Netherlands. Within our hospitality-law specialization, we strive to professionalize the sector.
