Hans Familierecht Erfrecht

What Hans Familierecht Erfrecht does

Hans Familierecht Erfrecht BV (trading as Hans Advocaten) is a privately held Dutch boutique law firm (besloten vennootschap, KvK 42036194) incorporated in the Netherlands and headquartered at Euclideslaan 51, Utrecht. Founded with a narrow focus on two practice domains — familierecht (family law) and erfrecht (inheritance law) — the firm subsequently added ouderenbescherming (elder protection) as a third dedicated practice. The firm employs approximately 14 people, of whom nine are lawyers, including two substitute judges (Karlijn Hageraats-Bouwens at the Rotterdam court and Froukje Dunki Jacobs at the Court of Appeal Den Bosch) and one former court employee (Joni van Elk). All lawyers hold vFAS specialization credentials.

The firm's service catalogue spans divorce proceedings (mediation, attorney negotiation, or litigation), child custody and parenting plans, spousal and child maintenance, asset and pension division, international family law, entrepreneur-divorce advisory (business valuation, BV/shareholder analysis), inheritance disputes, executor duties, inheritance mediation, and guardianship arrangements for vulnerable adults (bewind, mentorschap, curatele) and financial elder abuse cases. Service delivery is conducted by qualified lawyers and certified mediators (vFAS and MfN registered). The firm works closely with accountants, fiscalists, notaries, and professional guardians via referral and coordination relationships, and litigates before Rechtbank Midden-Nederland.

Commercially, the firm operates on professional-services economics: hourly rate billing specified by time and nature of work, invoiced monthly in arrears plus VAT and disbursements, with 14-day payment terms. Rates are set annually and may be adjusted for complexity, expertise, or urgency; fixed-fee and result-dependent compensation may be agreed in specific cases. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct client engagement (phone, email, website, in-person consultations at the Utrecht office) supported by educational content marketing and professional-network referrals. The customer base consists of individuals and families (primary), entrepreneurs and business owners, heirs and estate executors, and elderly or vulnerable adults — all within the Netherlands, with the Utrecht region as the anchor market.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Loyens & Loeff: Major Dutch law and tax advisory firm with a private-client practice covering family law, estate planning, and entrepreneur matters. A broader incumbent that competes for Hans's higher-end, business-owner clients.
• Houthoff: One of the largest Dutch full-service law firms with a notable family law and private-client practice. Represents the incumbent competition for high-end family-law mandates that Hans also targets.

Direct peers

• JPR Advocaten: Dutch boutique firm with a strong family law practice. Comparable in size and focus to Hans, serving individual clients on divorce, custody, and inheritance matters.
• Hekkelman Advocaten: Mid-sized Dutch law firm with a dedicated family law and inheritance practice. Comparable to Hans in serving individuals and families on personal-law matters, though broader in overall scope.
• Boonk Van Leeuwen Advocaten: Boutique Dutch law firm specializing exclusively in family law and inheritance law, based in Amsterdam. Closest comparable to Hans in terms of narrow specialization, partner-led model, and focus on complex family-law matters including international divorces.
• VBS Advocaten: Dutch mid-market law firm with a dedicated family and inheritance law practice serving individuals and entrepreneurs. Direct competitor for the same client segments Hans targets in the Netherlands.
• Buren Advocaten: Amsterdam-based Dutch law firm with a strong family law practice serving individuals and families. Comparable target market and practice mix to Hans, though larger and more international in scope.

Others

• Rechtbank Midden-Nederland: The regional court before which Hans litigates family-law disputes. Not a commercial peer, but a structural relationship: the court is both the firm's dispute-resolution forum and the body handling client complaints under the firm's complaints procedure.
• Stichting Netwerk Notarissen & Advocaten: Dutch network of notaries and lawyers collaborating on family-law and estate matters. Relevant as an ecosystem peer given Hans's reliance on notary partnerships for living wills and estate documentation.
