LITIGATION IS NOT AN END BUT A MEANS
We are real litigators: conducting legal proceedings is the basis of our office. In doing so, we apply a number of principles. We don’t see a lawsuit as an end in itself, but as a means to an end – your goal. Sometimes negotiation is better than litigating, more often negotiation is only done after a lawsuit has been started. And we don’t litigate if we think the chances of success are too low.
THE FIRST INTERVIEW IS NON-BINDING
At our firm, the initial consultation with an attorney is always without obligation. During an introductory meeting it is almost always possible to make a good estimate of both the chances of success of your case and the costs. We ask new clients to first email their legal question to us via a web form.
HOW WE USE THE RIGHT FOR YOU
Lawyers are there for their client and not for the common good. There are those who think that justice is mainly there for big, strong companies with deep pockets and for the government to exercise power. You may think that lawyers only want to work for these strong parties. We see that differently. For us, justice is precisely a wonderful system for offsetting power inequality and achieving just goals.

TESS-JANE VAN OUDHEUSDEN
OFFICE MANAGER AND LEGAL ASSISTANT
During my studies at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam, I worked at Hupkes c.s. Advocaten. After completing my studies, I started working as a trustee at another firm. I was responsible for all matters dealing with the funds and property of people under guardianship. Now I have rejoined Hupkes c.s. Attorneys at Law.
At Hupkes c.s. Lawyers, I work as an office manager and legal assistant. As such, I deal with the ins and outs of the office. In addition, I support the attorneys, including mr. Hein Hoogendoorn, on the legal front.
MILAN KOVÁCS
LEGAL ASSISTANT
I am Milan Kovács. I started in September 2019 as an intern at Hupkes cs lawyers. During the internship I discovered that my interest lies in the law and helping people. I have now successfully completed my HBO study Legal services. Because of my interest in law and the legal profession, I decided to continue my studies. I am currently studying Law at the University of Amsterdam. I hope to assist you as a lawyer in the future.
Milan Kovács does not work as a lawyer; his activities are the responsibility of mr Ruys.
