English-speaking lawyers in The Hague

English-speaking lawyers in The Hague serve a city full of international institutions. The International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, embassies and agencies employ staff from around the world, and the Dutch government sits here too.

Expats in The Hague often need help with IND residence permits, the 30% ruling and registration with the municipality. Staff of international organisations ask how immunities affect their employment, tax and family matters. Housing is tight, so disputes over rent, deposits and service charges are frequent. International divorce and child relocation cases are common in a city with so many mobile families.

Advocaten must be registered with the Nederlandse Orde van Advocaten. The district court in The Hague hears cases in Dutch, so foreign certificates may need a sworn translation and an apostille. Fees are usually hourly, and the bar requires a clear engagement letter. Lower incomes may qualify for subsidised legal aid. Compare the firms below and contact them directly.
