Van Weeghel Doppenberg Kamps Notarissen

What Van Weeghel Doppenberg Kamps Notarissen does

Van Weeghel Doppenberg Kamps Notarissen is a Dutch notary and legal advisory partnership (maatschap) headquartered at Keppelseweg 1 in Doetinchem, operating as one of the larger notary offices in Oost-Nederland (Eastern Netherlands). The firm is organized into four specialized sections — onroerend goedrecht (real estate law), familierecht (family law), ondernemingsrecht (corporate law), and a dedicated Deutschland Abteilung for cross-border Netherlands-Germany matters — and operates a wholly-owned sub-brand, Basisnotarissen Achterhoek, that delivers standardized notary services at competitive rates through a custom online system. Services are delivered in Dutch, German, and English.

The firm employs approximately 35-48 staff, including two partner-notaries (mr. E.R. Koers and mr. J.F.M. Schoot), one toegevoegd notaris, six to seven kandidaat-notarissen, five juristen, and supporting administrative and operational personnel. Revenue is generated through professional fees based on standard office hourly rates for advisory work and per-deed fees for notarial acts, with fees for notarial deeds collected before or at signing. The firm also operates a custom online dossier portal (vwdk.notarisdossier.nl) for client document management, and has developed Basisnotarissen's online system internally.

The client base spans Dutch private individuals and entrepreneurs, plus a distinctive cross-border segment of German clients and Dutch nationals residing in Germany. Distribution combines direct office visits in Doetinchem, remote service delivery by phone and email, professional intermediary referrals (lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, financial advisors), and referral flow generated through memberships in NICO Notarissen (a national collaboration of 15 leading Dutch notary firms) and Lexunion (a pan-European network of notaries, fiscalists, and lawyers). The firm's strategic positioning centers on personalized advice beyond deed-drafting, deep Netherlands-Germany cross-border expertise (reinforced by partner Jeroen Schoot's appointment as KNB Ambassador for Germany), and consistent quality certification by the Koninklijke Notariële Beroepsorganisatie.
