About Gijs

By means of a crafty mindset and pragmatic approach, I have always been able to offer my clients practical and instant solutions to their problems.

After having gained vast experience in multiple fields of law while working for various law firms, smaller and larger ones, my partner Doeko Bosscher and I decided in 2014 to establish our own law firm: Plan B Attorneys. Our law firm that outshines others in always being in reach, fast delivery, transparency, and net results.

Assisting a wide variety of domestic as well as international clients, I specialize in the following fields of law:

• Corporate Law
• Commercial Contracting
• Employment Law

Evidenced by my registration in the register of legal practice areas of the Netherlands Bar Association, I am qualified and certified to act as attorney at law in the aforementioned fields of law. Pursuant to this registration, I am required to obtain a minimum number of ten training credits per calendar year for each registered field of law in accordance with the standards set by the Netherlands Bar Association.

My excellent command of English (bilingual proficiency) brings along a feeling of "homecoming" to our English speaking clients. In addition, I speak French and German.

At the University of Groningen, I obtained my master’s degree (LL.M.) in Private (International) Law and EU Law. At McGill University in Montreal, I broadened my knowledge of International Trade Law and improved my command of French.

As to pastime, I particularly prefer spending as much time as possible with my wonderful wife and son, with whom I recently escaped from the urban jungle of Amsterdam to settle down at the Dutch seaside, where we are surrounded by woodlands, sand dunes and the beach.
