Lawyer Embassies and consulates in the Netherlands

Meet Aroon Gonesh

When an embassy or consulate in the Netherlands is confronted with a legal problem, it does not want just any lawyer. They want a good lawyer who has knowledge of the special legal position of embassies and consulates and who also has affinity with the precarious sensitivities that can come into play when an embassy or consulate is involved in legal transactions. As the son of a diplomat, I understand the delicate position of the diplomatic envoy. This is something I have been taught at a young age. The trust that embassies and consulates place in me is a matter of honour for me. Their special interest is leading for me as a lawyer.
