Dutch law requires attorneys to comply with specific and stringent advertising rules. Since the publication of names of attorneys together with any data concerning their qualifications and professional experience may be considered a contravention of these rules, this list is provided only on condition it not be published.

Most attorneys can correspond in English.

Notaries:
Notaries in the Netherlands, unlike attorneys or legal advisors, do not represent or act in the interest of any one party, but are legally bound to act impartially. They are appointed by the Monarch for life, and governed by the statutes of the Koninklijke Notariële Beroepsorganisatie. Their functions include, but are not limited to, probating estates, preparing wills, articles of incorporation, agreements between individuals, and transferring title in real property transactions. Notaries are required to establish the veracity of information presented to them and their functions have the force of law.

At the end of the List of Attorneys is a partial listing of notary offices in the three major cities of the Netherlands. These offices were selected at random and are being provided under the same disclaimer as that of the List of Attorneys. A complete list of all the notaries in the Netherlands can be found at http://www.knb.nl/contact.
