Herz Lawyers’ Areas of Expertise
- Regulatory Compliance
We represent your business in interactions with government authorities and ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements.
At Herz Lawyers, we view regulatory compliance as an inevitable reality for businesses that can change at any time. We understand that clients need a platform to define and communicate their interests when dealing with authorities. We assist clients in organizing such a platform based on mutual trust and respect with regulators.
We see regulatory compliance not as a barrier but as opportunities that can bring significant benefits to businesses. - Corporate Law and Compliance
We support corporate matters from company formation to ensuring adherence to internal regulations.
The Herz Lawyers team accompanies clients in corporate compliance, offering not only basic and standard document provisions but also creative and innovative solutions. With extensive experience in transactions, we assist medium and large businesses in resolving corporate issues.
We discuss clients’ strategic visions for business development to propose the best corporate structure, legal support project, and internal corporate documentation. We consider each client’s project unique, avoiding template solutions widely available in the market and striving for innovation.
We are often approached by medium and large businesses for advice on hostile takeovers or imposed corporate conditions. Observing the market’s trend toward globalization, we focus on protecting clients’ business interests and vision to find optimal solutions. Our practice extends beyond standard corporate matters, and we proudly assist clients at all stages—from company creation to large holding development. - Cybersecurity and Data Protection Compliance
We audit data protection policies for legal compliance and, if necessary, develop improved solutions.
Your digital security. Your data protection.
At Herz Lawyers, we understand cybersecurity and data protection not just as adopting existing policies in the form of countless documents but as a truly proactive approach to what cybersecurity and data protection actually entail.
We help clients balance meaningful investments in data protection technologies with organizational measures to realistically meet legal requirements and practical objectives.
We provide legal solutions for small and medium businesses and involve additional technical consultants for urgent issues faced by large companies.
Recognizing the growing trend of private lawsuits for damages related to improper data use, we see a broader scope of corporate responsibility beyond regulatory risks.
A proactive approach is crucial for data management, including pre-emptive consent or notification about data processing. We help identify risks, discuss effective protective measures, and tailor solutions based on the client’s local or cross-border business specifics and workforce size. - Commercial Law

We help clients confidently navigate the dynamic balance of employer-employee interests. For example, post-COVID challenges have reshaped approaches to work schedules, work-life balance, and even integrating AI into employees’ roles. EU countries, including the Netherlands, encourage employers to sign permanent, long-term agreements to revitalize specific economic sectors.
Our team provides comprehensive support on labor law matters. - Intellectual Property
