Notaris Utrecht van Ee & De Jonge

What Notaris Utrecht van Ee & De Jonge does

Van Ee & De Jonge, trading as Uw Notaris, is a privately held Dutch notary practice (notariskantoor) established in 1972 at Willemsplantsoen 12 in Utrecht, Netherlands, with roots tracing to a predecessor office that began serving clients in the city in 1894. The firm operates from a single office with approximately 10-13 staff, comprising one licensed Notaris (Hans de Jonge), one Kandidaat-notaris (Vincent Haarmans), notary clerks, a real-estate specialist, administrative staff, and a controller. It provides a full range of notarial services for both private individuals (property transfers, mortgages, wills, cohabitation agreements, marriage conditions, registered partnerships, guardianship, estate administration) and business clients (B.V., stichting and vereniging formations, share transfers, corporate governance, and major infrastructure-project documentation such as HSL Zuid and Betuweroute).

The firm's underlying technology is modest: an in-house online intake platform pioneered in 1997 that was the first of its kind in the Netherlands, comprising interactive questionnaires that clients complete in Word format and submit by email before in-person consultations at the Utrecht office. No mobile app, API, or third-party integrations are disclosed. The business model is transactional fee-for-service: each notarial act (deed, certificate, contract) is priced individually based on complexity, with prospective clients requesting custom quotes via a website form, phone, or email. There is no subscription, retainer, or recurring revenue structure. All services require client presence at the office, as mandated by Dutch notarial law.

Go-to-market is sales-led and personal-consultation-based, supported by a content-marketing website (uwnotaris.nl) that hosts downloadable KNB brochures and Word questionnaires, plus membership in Netwerk Notarissen (a 154-office national network) for knowledge sharing and referral reach. The firm has no paid advertising or active social media presence, no parent company or external investors, and is independently owned by its principals.
