Although the name Wools Bloemen van Schaijk Advocaten has only existed since November 1, 2018, the office has a long history that dates back to 1990.
Wools Bloemen van Schaijk Advocaten was created by merging the offices of Slot Jacobs & Bloemen Advocaten in Nijmegen and Litjens Wools Advocaten in Elst. As of November 1, 2018, the office has a branch in Nijmegen as well as in Elst. This new collaboration will give the office more extensive expertise and improved effectiveness. In addition, the office becomes more future-proof. The two branches also offer clients more opportunities to visit our office.
Slot & Jacobs started in 1990 as tax and business advisors. In 1993, in addition to providing advice to individuals and companies, they expanded to legal representation by joining the legal profession in order to complement the services. In 2002 Irene Bloemen was recruited as a lawyer to support the growing civil law advice and litigation practice. In 2014, Slot Jacobs & Bloemen Advocaten crossed the road to our current building at Oranjesingel 75.
Wim Litjens and Koen Wools both worked at a law firm in Nijmegen and Elst. On 1 November 2010 they started together at the current location in Elst Litjens & Wools Advocaten. In 2013, Martine van Schaijk, who until then worked as a lawyer at an office in Arnhem, joined Litjens & Wools Advocaten. With this, the practice was expanded to include divorce law and law of persons and family law.
Labor law concerns the relationship between employer and employee. Labor disputes often have a major impact on both employer and employee. It is important to resolve these as soon as possible. We have extensive experience with employment and dismissal and can assist you in this. We know which steps need to be taken, but we also have an eye for human relationships and the interests at stake.
However, we are not only there to solve problems, but also to prevent them. That is why we are happy to provide clear legal advice at an early stage.

The costs of legal assistance, including those of the lawyer of your choice, can be reimbursed by the legal expenses insurer if you are a party to legal proceedings.

You can also ask one of our lawyers for a second opinion if you are unsure about how your case will be handled, for example by a legal expenses insurer.

The family lawyers of Wools Bloemen van Schaijk Advocaten in Nijmegen and Elst have years of experience in advising and litigating in the law of persons and family law and divorce and in mediations. Our expertise comes in handy here, especially in the case of a divorce involving an entrepreneur, deviating arrangements regarding the owner-occupied home, complex alimony calculations and problems related to inheritance law. We offer support in the following situations, among others:
Buying or selling a house is generally quite easy. You sign the purchase contract through the broker, arrange the financing and then the notary takes care of the transfer. But sometimes problems arise that you didn't expect. For example, it appears that your home has been seized. Or the buyer of your house cannot arrange the financing. Or your home suddenly shows hidden defects.
Are you dealing with a legal dispute about goods? A quick approach often produces the best results in these cases.
We guide and advise you during or in the run-up to a bankruptcy. Are you facing bankruptcy? For example, because your contracting party is bankrupt or threatens to go bankrupt? Is your own bankruptcy filed or do you want to make a restart? Are you sued by the receiver of a BV for directors' liability? You can fully rely on our broad knowledge of the rules and jurisprudence within bankruptcy law.
The loss of a loved one is a very sad event. It is even more painful if you and your heirs quarrel about the inheritance. As painful as it may be, it is important that the problems are resolved. It can be useful to approach a lawyer, especially if the interests are great and you can no longer resolve the matter together. The lawyers of Wools Bloemen van Schaijk Advocaten can defend your interests, while keeping an eye on the emotional consequences of the death and the quarrel.
We assist you in all your disputes about inheritance law. If you ask us for advice at an early stage, this often prevents problems later on. So do not hesitate to contact us at an early stage. We do not handle inheritance law cases on a legal basis.
