ICTRECHT Visual Corporate Story 2022 CMYK ENGELS

Our vision on IT law

Technological developments, such as convergence, occur much faster than laws can ever be adapted. To properly apply laws to the current technological reality is a constant challenge, because these laws were often written with a very different or outdated technological reality in mind. At ICTRecht, we enjoy this challenge and are passionate about harnessing our legal and technological expertise to provide high quality, practical advice.

Instead of lengthy documents full of ‘legalese’ concluding with ‘it depends’, we deliver legal advice which you can use right away.

And that is exactly what we deliver.

Our history

Legal ICT was established in 2010 as the international department of mother company ICTRecht, advising clients on international matters in the English language.

ICTRecht was founded by Steven Ras in 2004. Arnoud Engelfriet switched to ICTRecht in 2008. This is how ICTRecht grew into a complete law firm for ICT, privacy, security and the internet in general. We now have 180 employees in five different offices in the Netherlands.

Our clients

We service a wide variety of organizations. Our clients not only differ in industry, but also in their global ambitions. We service non-Dutch organizations expanding to the Dutch market, and Dutch organizations expanding to other markets.
