Public Sector

The public sector in the Netherlands is complex, rapidly changing and characterised by its intricate legal landscape, with a wide range of responsibilities and tasks for government agencies, semi-authorities, businesses and non-profit organisations. For this sector, it is sometimes necessary to have legal counsel, although a true legal partner is indispensable. You have come to the right place.

Our experience

La Gro has been supporting parties in the public sector since 1902 and has assisted more than 50 different authorities over the years. Our team of over 30 specialised lawyers builds on many years of collaborations and practical experience. Their work also extends to businesses and non-profit organisations.

All-In Service In-House Counsel

We currently act as in-house counsel for more than 25 authorities, including municipalities, provinces, environmental services and water boards. By offering an all-in service and working with a Public Sector Team, we can pool all our legal and public-sector expertise and immediately call in multidisciplinary expertise when needed.

Legal Partner

We are more than lawyers; with our extensive industry knowledge, we act as legal partners to our clients. Our thinking processes go beyond legal analysis and we look for more than business solutions. As such, we take into account political sensitivities and possible impossible deadlines. We have an eye for administrative relationships within local government and due to our long-standing collaborations, we often serve as the legal memory bank in long-term projects.

Our approach

Low-threshold and fast

Our clients appreciate our personal and prompt approach and communication. We spring into action as soon as our clients need us and get involved early on to keep unnecessary costs and proceedings to a minimum wherever possible.

Knowledge sharing

We proactively share information on new legislation and case law and also distribute a periodic newsletter. You can sign up for the newsletter here.
