Generalist

Van der Drift is a legal generalist, which means that he does not specialise in just one area of law. mr. Van der Drift was educated in private law/civil law and has mainly focused on contract law, labour law, corporate law and privacy law. These areas of law have much in common. Because of Van der Drift's generalist character, it is possible to also oversee possible consequences in other areas of law.

If you have a question that does not fall within the specialisation, Van der Drift can refer you to the specialised service providers within the network for this purpose.
