A track record of experience and expertise
M.C.J. (Marco) Swart started the Swart Advocatuur lawyer's office on 4 March 2007. The office is located at the western edge of Eindhoven (Netherlands) just off the motorways to the south and the east, which makes it easily accessible. At present, the office is manned by seven people. The atmosphere at the office can be described as informal. 
The office offers good in-house knowledge of labour law, civil service legislation, persons and family law, succession law, collection, contract law, insurance legislation, liability legislation, and corporate legislation. Private persons and companies alike from both the Netherlands and abroad know how to find Swart Advocatuur when they are looking for an office specialising in these areas of law. When accepting clients, Swart Advocatuur does not distinguish between private clients and corporate clients. Both are welcome at the office. The first exploratory meeting with M. Swart LL M is always free of charge. M. Swart: "We do not charge for our services until the client experiences the added value of our work and we have reached an agreement about the fee." At Swart Advocatuur, the client will always know exactly what to expect. Legal chances and options are explained in advance, as well as risks and threats. Clients will always be well prepared for a possible court procedure. And costs and revenues will always be in balance. These are the very characteristics that make Swart Advocatuur stand out from many other lawyer's offices in the Netherlands.
M. Swart has been a lawyer since 1996. The choice for this profession was an easy one for him. He wants to help everyone who gets entangled in the legal system and experiences iniquitous situations when trying to achieve justice. What he likes about his job is finding practical solutions in tricky situations. For him, it is therefore very important to complete a case to his client's satisfaction. "The client's satisfaction is our true reward." His expertise, proven experience, strategic approach and tenacity give M. Swart an advantage over other lawyers. Swart Advocatuur writes for various magazines, including a magazine for HRM managers, and is an active member of the Dutch Bar Association and various specialists societies.
Swart Advocatuur wants to help to lower the threshold that holds people back to turn to a lawyer's office. Presently, this threshold is often still too high due to a lack of knowledge, insecurity about rates, and insecurity about what can be achieved. "Many conflicts can be prevented by talking through agreements and writing them down in advance with the help of an expert lawyer." Also, few people are aware that lawyers can be a great help in preventing disputes. The lawyers at Swart Advocatuur would like to see a change in the legal profession. "There is nothing wrong with lawyers becoming much more colourful, both in appearance and in presentation." M. Swart would like to give the following advice to anyone looking for justice: "It is OK to trust the people around you, but just remain critical and alert at the essential moments."
