Our Dutch lawyers in product compliance are specialized in European product regulation, including challenges surrounding (EU) product law, product compliance, product liability, product safety, recalls, industrial contracts, contractual disputes, crisis management and CE marking enforcement in the Netherlands.
When new products are put into circulation (or put into use) within the EEA, it is important that they meet the essential environmental, health and safety requirements. Whether imported products, or, for example, new production lines, meeting these requirements must be legally assessed. A faulty product is a potential breeding ground for an international trade dispute, or even a product recall. Our Dutch product lawyers are familiar with these dangers, the applicable European directives, harmonized standards, and national rules. In the event of a dispute, we will act on your behalf before the civil court, the Inspectorate SZW or before an arbitration institute.
MAAK Advocaten has a team of Dutch lawyers who are specialized in EU and Dutch Product law, including commercial contracting and civil and administrative litigation. Our Dutch Product Law lawyers in Amsterdam will be happy to assist you with all Product Compliance challenges in the Netherlands and abroad. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
