Subscriptions

Furthermore, VANDIJK lawyers offers four subscriptions:
– Self-employed/starters subscription
– SME subscription
– Quarter/half year check-up subscription
– Legal counsel/economic subscription

At VANDIJK lawyers, you get to know the lawyers and the lawyers get to know you. Personal attention to our customers is paramount. You, therefore, do not have access to one lawyer, but to all lawyers associated with our office. We think alongside you to prevent legal issues and can respond quickly to unexpected situations. We help you to resolve (complicated) issues by providing timely, good quality advice and support. VANDIJK lawyers offers you not only first legal assistance, but also specialised legal assistance.

For a fixed amount each month, you can choose a subscription that best fits you. You can also choose to combine two subscriptions. Not only do you have direct access to one of our specialized lawyers, but with a subscription, you also save time, legal worries, and money.
A subscription is for a minimum period of one year, after which it is monthly terminable with due observance of a cancellation period of 1 month.

The following applies to all subscriptions:

It is not possible to end a (legal) subscription with regard to a dispute that already existed before or upon entering into the subscription. Our normal hourly rate applies to legal work carried out in connection with such a dispute. Decisive for this is the moment that there is actually a dispute (“business conflict”) with another person about a certain legal subject.
The subscriptions exclude all ongoing procedures, proceedings at second instance (the appeal of the proceedings conducted), proceedings of which the summons / petition was already sent or received at the time of concluding one of the subscriptions, proceedings that took place two months before commencement of one of the subscriptions, proceedings at the Supreme Court, and proceedings abroad.
In all cases, VANDIJK lawyers reserves the right to determine which lawyer acts for you. All this, of course, as much as possible tailored to your legal needs.
Below you will find an explanation of the contents of each subscription. Are you curious about what we can do for your company, do you want a company visit by one of our lawyers, or do you have any questions regarding the information on our website? Please feel free to contact us.
The activities of our mediator are not included in the subscriptions!
