EBH Elshof Advocaten is the largest and most prominent law firm in the region.
EBH Elshof Advocaten was created through a merger of EBH Advocaten and Van Vliet & Elshof Advocaten. EBH Elshof Advocaten is a law firm that blends tradition with modern advocacy. Through the concentration of specialists in project groups and the sheer size of the firm, we have been able to achieve an extensive level of professionalism. Our specialists deliver the highest level of legal quality, putting good accessibility and optimal service to their private and corporate clients first.
Our broad client base, which covers the large area between Rotterdam and The Hague, is active in a wide variety of branches, including transportation, horticulture, high-tech industry, international trade and services. Due to the international nature of the commercial activities in both Delft and the Westland, our clients operate global businesses and we are able to assist them with all their international legal issues.
From our two easily accessible locations in Delft and Naaldwijk, we work together closely with experts from other fields, such as notaries, accountants and fiscal advisors.
Our lawyers work together in six specialised project groups: Corporate, Liability and Contract Law, the departments Real Estate, Government and Environment, Labour Law, Criminal Law, Family Law, and the project group Companies in Trouble / Insolvency.
As such, EBH Elshof Advocaten can assist you in practically any legal matter that you or your company may encounter.
With thirty specialised lawyers on board, EBH Elshof Advocaten can offer you both the strength of a specialised law farm and the power of a large, broadly oriented law firm.
At EBH Elshof Advocaten, we are aware of our corporate responsibility to society, which is why we support a number of charities in 2010. One of these charities is Alpe DHuzes, a foundation that raises money for cancer research by letting people sponsor athletes who set out to conquer the Alp D Huez. Moreover, EBH-Elshof supports many sports clubs, such as the EBH-Elshof Van Vliet cycle racing team, Asvion field hockey club, Excelsior cricket club, and F.C. Vitesse. We also sponsor Theatre de Veste in Delft.
EBH Elshof Advocaten awards a yearly scholarship to a promising law student, the EBH-Elshof Grant. EBH Elshof Advocaten pays all tuition fees for the student's law degree and offers him or her a six-month contract with the firm.

Instructions shall be performed entirely for the benefit of the client. No third party can derive any rights from work performed for the benefit of the client.
Notwithstanding the above provisions, these General Terms and Conditions are imposed for the benefit of the partners of the EBH Elshof partnership, the managers and (indirect) shareholders of the companies and all persons that work for the partnership, whether or not under a contract of employment.
