Infrastructure and landscaping, law
and technology combined
Jelle Zeelenberg (1994) obtained his master’s degree in civil law from Leiden University in 2018 and was admitted to the bar in 2019.
He has a strong affinity with the construction and engineering sectors, a keen eye for detail, and enjoys rolling up his sleeves to construct things in his spare time. Thanks to this hands-on experience, he quickly grasps the substance of technical discussions. This enables him to efficiently translate legal concepts into advice, memos and court documents.
Jelle focuses primarily on Infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on issues relating to the model contracts. He is certainly no stranger to image quality agreements and framework agreements. Jelle deals almost daily with legal issues arising in the fields of Infrastructure engineering, as well as landscaping.
A solution-oriented approach is paramount. Jelle is keen to provide clients with advice and support to enable them to reach agreements by themselves with the employer, supplier or subcontractor. This might involve, for example, drafting a memo based on which the contractor can engage in discussions with the employer directly. Should positions on both sides unexpectedly harden and legal proceedings become unavoidable, he is fully committed to his clients’ interests throughout the proceedings.
Building on his experience in civil engineering practice, Jelle has also specialized in procurement law:
“A contract must first be secured before any discussion about its execution can take place.”
He understands that sound advice during the tendering phase or a well-founded objection in the event of failing to secure a contract can make all the difference.
Jelle is a member of the Association of Construction Law Lawyers (VBR-A), the Construction Law Association (VBR) and the Association of Young Property Lawyers (VJOJ).
