Van Steenes & Van Raam Advocaten

Van Steenes & Van Raam Advocaten is a Leiden-based boutique law firm that focuses on landlord and tenant law, criminal law and employment law, and also provides services to entrepreneurs on business law matters. The firm was founded in 2019 by mr. A.M. (Indra) van Steenes and mr. S.L. (Sarah) van Raam and serves both private clients and businesses across the Netherlands.

The firm positions itself as solution-focused and practical, seeking to avoid protracted and costly litigation where possible while providing robust representation when court action is required. The lawyers combine litigation experience in areas such as violence and drug-related offences, tenancy disputes for both residential and commercial leases, and employer-employee conflicts with preventive advice for small businesses.

Van Steenes & Van Raam handles cases on the basis of subsidized legal aid as well as private fee arrangements, and offers a complimentary first half-hour intake to prospective clients. The practice works for tenants, landlords, housing corporations, entrepreneurs and individuals, and emphasises clear communication and building a quick rapport with clients to enable effective representation.
