What Infense advocaten does

Infense Advocaten B.V. is a privately held Dutch boutique law firm headquartered in Deventer, Overijssel, founded in 2014 by Antoine Broesterhuizen. The firm fields roughly 13 attorneys supported by 2 legal staff, 3 secretaries, and an office manager, for a total headcount of approximately 20. It is organized as a B.V. (private limited company under Dutch law), registered with the Kamer van Koophandel under number 59362189, and operates exclusively in the Netherlands while serving clients on matters across the country.

The firm specializes in four interconnected practice areas: public procurement law (aanbestedingsrecht), construction law (bouwrecht), project and area development (project- en gebiedsontwikkeling), and state aid law (staatssteun). It advises and represents both sides of transactions — public contracting authorities and bidders, contractors and developers — on matters ranging from procurement procedures and contract drafting (including UAV and UAV-GC frameworks) to construction disputes, arbitration before the Raad van Arbitrage in Bouwgeschillen, public-private partnership structuring, and state aid compliance. The team includes published authors of the leading Dutch legal commentaries (Tekst & Commentaar Aanbestedingsrecht, Sdu Commentaar Aanbestedingsrecht, Bouwrecht Monografieën), a PhD-qualified attorney on procurement law, and university lecturers at VU Amsterdam and other institutions.

The business model is conventional professional services: billable legal work charged at hourly rates set out in the firm's general terms, with the option to request advance payments. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Client acquisition is driven by thought leadership (journal articles, columns, conference speaking, university teaching) and long-term relationship building rather than paid marketing. The firm has no subsidiaries, no institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no disclosed partnerships.
