Expansion of services from 1 January 2015 upon merger with Nijbakker Advocaten

With the opening of a new office in Parkstad, Maastricht-based law firm Paulussen Advocaten NV is further expanding its portfolio of services. The expansion has been brought about through a merger with Nijbakker Advocaten of Heerlen. The two law firms share a common vision on the purpose of modern-day legal practice: to add value through the provision of oversight, guidance and speed in all legal matters. The merger has forged a strong full-service law firm in Limburg, with 45 staff members working from its two locations in Maastricht and Parkstad. The new Parkstad office of Paulussen Advocaten is situated in Heerlen on Akerstraat 67.

Joining legal forces
Philip Nijbakker, lawyer and former owner of Nijbakker Advocaten, joined the board of Paulussen Advocaten NV on 1 January 2015: ‘Joining forces with Paulussen Advocaten opens up new opportunities for all our clients across Limburg. The firm delivers outstanding quality and invests continually and extensively in advancing the knowledge of the entire team of lawyers. This enables us to cover more fields of expertise. By merging together, we are able to offer an integral legal service. That’s sure to appeal to prospective clients, too.’

John Huppertz, lawyer and managing partner at Paulussen Advocaten, concurs. ‘Paulussen Advocaten has a strong tradition as an advisor to public authorities, institutions and corporations. By joining with Nijbakker Advocaten, we’re extending our expertise into the SME domain. Philip and his team have a proven rapport with the SME sector. Beyond that, our joint approach will also generate additional value for private sector clients. For some time now, Paulussen Advocaten had been keen to close the physical gap with our clients in Parkstad. In my view, everyone stands to gain from this alliance.’

With the merger becoming official in 2015 – the year that Paulussen Advocaten celebrates its 120-year anniversary – this marks an opportune moment to furnish the market with extensive and targeted information about the firm’s ongoing development. Further information about the services offered by Paulussen Advocaten and our working procedures can be found on this website.
