Our specialisations for military civil servants

Military civil service law

The legal position of military personnel is set out in the Defence Civil Servants Act (Wad) and the AMAR, among other legislation. Would you like to know more about appeal procedures, disciplinary measures or investigations within the Ministry of Defence?

Military criminal law

Military personnel, like civilians, can be prosecuted under criminal law, but they are also subject to legal consequences. Do you have any questions about questioning by the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, the right to remain silent or the consequences for your security clearance?

Military disciplinary law

Not every act leads to criminal prosecution, but it can have disciplinary consequences. What are the rules, your rights and the possible penalties under disciplinary law?

We provide legal advice for military officials wherever you are.

Are you a member of the military dealing with a decision, investigation or procedure affecting your position? We understand that legal proceedings within the Ministry of Defence can have a significant impact on your career, integrity and personal reputation. Our lawyers will support you with care and discretion throughout the Netherlands and worldwide.
