Richard-Jan Roks

Richard-Jan has been an attorney since 1992 and joined Kennedy Van der Laan in 1997. He specializes in construction and public procurement law.

He advises and represents property developers, architects and other construction advisers and construction companies regarding construction contracts and disputes, project development, public-private cooperation and public procurement processes. Richard-Jan often speaks at legal conferences about building and procurement law. He is also a lecturer at the Grotius Academy specialization courses of European and Dutch procurement law.

Richard-Jan's passion for modern architecture made him the perfect partner to work with architects Merkx + Girod (www.merkx-girod.nl) to develop the interior of our current office building in a way that reflects the character of our firm: "adventurous and serious, innovative and transparent".
