Per van der Kooi

After studying at Leiden University, Per successfully completed the postgraduate course in Procurement Law (cum laude) at VU Amsterdam in 2007.

Per commenced his law career in 1993 and joined De Clercq in 2001. He served for a number of years as a Lecturer in Practical Education (negotiation and advocacy) in the professional training programme run by the Dutch Bar Association (Nederlandse Orde van Advocaten), and was also a guest lecturer in Tenancy Law at Leiden University for some time.

‘When I started my career as an attorney, my practice was initially broad and general in nature. In addition to tenancy law, I now focus primarily on construction law and the broader aspects of property law, starting from the initial sketch, navigating the permit process and the architect and building contract, to completion and sale or rental of the property. My clients mainly include property developers, housing associations, landlords, tenants, clients, architects and contractors.’
