Bosselaar Strengers and Kienhuis Legal share the same vision of legal services: specialist, personal and entrepreneurial. Both firms believe that clients increasingly need legal partners who not only offer deep expertise, but who can also think along holistically on complex matters. By joining forces, a firm emerges in which specialist knowledge, legal practice, notarial services and multidisciplinary collaboration come together. This allows us to support businesses, government bodies and institutions even better on the challenges of today and tomorrow.

From the very first conversations, it was clear that both firms complement each other not only in terms of content, but also culturally. Kienhuis Legal and Bosselaar Strengers share the same DNA: high-quality legal services combined with a down-to-earth, personal and entrepreneurial way of working.

Bosselaar Strengers brings 75 years of knowledge, experience and a strong position in Utrecht. Kienhuis Legal adds a broad full-service practice, integrated notarial services and strong multidisciplinary teams to that. It is precisely this substantive strengthening that makes this collaboration valuable for clients.

For clients of Bosselaar Strengers, the collaboration means access to a broader legal practice with additional specialist expertise and integrated notarial services. Where Bosselaar Strengers is already strongly represented in areas including administrative law, real estate and environmental law, Kienhuis Legal adds complementary expertise in areas such as employment law, corporate law, procurement law, technology and international matters. This allows clients to switch more quickly and bring more disciplines under one roof.

For clients of Kienhuis Legal, the collaboration means a further strengthening of specialist knowledge in the areas of administrative law, real estate, environmental law and public affairs. In addition, it creates direct access to additional expertise, larger multidisciplinary teams and a stronger national and international practice. In this way, we combine regional engagement with broad legal support.

No. This is explicitly a merger and not a takeover. Both firms join forces from the conviction that they are stronger together than separately. The aim is to build a powerful full-service legal practice that can operate at the level of the larger firms, but with a more personal, accessible and entrepreneurial approach.

No. A deliberate choice has been made for a gradual and careful transition to the Kienhuis Legal brand. Bosselaar Strengers has built a strong position and recognition in the Utrecht region. That is why the name will remain prominently visible in the first phase, combined with Kienhuis Legal. In this way, we retain the trust and recognition among existing clients and relations. The transition to one joint brand name will happen step by step. We believe it is important that clients, relations and employees can gradually get used to the new combination. Only once the 7 joint brand has been firmly established will the full transition to the name Kienhuis Legal take place.

You will keep your regular points of contact, but gain access to additional specialist expertise when needed. This allows us to respond more quickly on complex matters and bring more disciplines together within one firm.
