Hekkelman advocaten en notarissen

What Hekkelman advocaten en notarissen does

Hekkelman advocaten en notarissen is a Dutch full-service law firm and notary practice headquartered in Nijmegen with a secondary office in Arnhem, operating since 1907. The firm is organized as two N.V. (public limited company) entities — Hekkelman Advocaten N.V. and Hekkelman Notarissen N.V. — which together employ over 85 lawyers and notaries and approximately 100 total staff. The firm offers a comprehensive legal and notarial service portfolio spanning ten practice areas: procurement law, agricultural law, employment law, administrative/public law, bankruptcy, family and inheritance law, IT law, corporate law, privacy law, and real estate law, alongside comprehensive notarial services for property transactions, corporate structures, and estate administration.

The firm serves a structurally diversified client base including government entities (municipalities such as Gemeente Eindhoven on retainer), businesses and organizations requiring corporate and M&A advisory, private individuals for family and inheritance matters, and the agricultural sector. Distribution is exclusively direct: clients engage through office consultations, phone, email, or website contact forms across the Gelderland region, with no intermediary or reseller channels. Revenue is generated through professional service fees on a quote-based, project-driven model — pricing is not publicly disclosed, though free introductory meetings are offered for inheritance law matters.

The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and content-augmented, emphasizing personal relationships and direct communication with specialized practitioners. Marketing efforts center on a Knowledge Center publishing blogs, podcasts, and articles, supplemented by topical webinar series such as the Omgevingswet 2026 program covering Environmental Law transitions. Technology adoption is limited to standard marketing and analytics tooling (Google Analytics, Mouseflow, Google AdWords, WebinarGeek) with no disclosed AI/ML, proprietary platform, or API offerings. The firm holds GDPR compliance certifications and maintains no parent company, external investment, or public listing — ownership is held by partners consistent with traditional Dutch legal practice structures.
