Vincent van Oijen

Attorney | Partner

Vincent has an advisory and litigation practice. The focus is on liability law, insurance law and real estate. The professional liability of professional service providers has a prominent place. Vincent works on behalf of insurers and their policyholders. According to his clients, Vincent is an “excellent litigator” who works “remarkably efficiently”.

This usually involves the legal assistance of notaries, lawyers, architects, estate agents and tax advisers. In addition, Vincent works for housing corporations, property developers and (real estate) investors. The emphasis is on conducting proceedings, both civil and disciplinary.

There are dozens of cases every year, which are often completed successfully. That can also mean arranging to prevent worse. Vincent is completely transparent about this in advance. If a procedure is not promising, he will not ignore it. On the other hand, of course, he will do everything in his power to win a successful case. You can find numerous examples of this on the website www.rechtspraak.nl.

Vincent has in the past been involved in a collective action in which 176 notaries were assisted on a tax issue. The case has recently been decided by the Supreme Court in favour of the notarial profession.

For many years, Vincent has published in the journal Rechtspraak Notariaat, Praktisch bewerkisch (Kluwer), in which recent judgments in his field (professional liability) are discussed. As a result of these publications, he is often approached by clients for advice and assistance.

Vincent has registered the following areas of law in the Register of Jurisdictions of the Netherlands Bar Association:

• Civil procedural law
• Disciplinary law
• Real estate law / Construction law

This registration obliges him to earn ten training points in each registered area of law each calendar year in accordance with the standards of the Netherlands Bar Association.
