About us
After more than 25 years of experience in family law matters, we formed Van der Loeff Family Law together in 2015. Matters can be dealt with faster and more cost-effectively by a small and committed team with complementary specialisms.
Family matters are thorough. Professional and personal counselling is our first priority. We provide advice and legal counsel, as mediators and as lawyers. We specialize in complex matters in which a corporation, international law or the interests of children play a role.
Joke Uittenhout
Joke Uittenhout began working as a lawyer in 1986, with a special interest in family law. Since 2002, she has been working exclusively as a family law lawyer, a divorce mediator, and a succession law lawyer.
She considers it her duty to identify a workable strategy together with the clients in order to resolve the conflict. The client’s objective is important, but creating clarity about what is possible and what is cannot be forgotten.
Joke is a member of the Dutch Association of family law lawyers and divorce mediators (Vereniging van Familierecht Advocaten Scheidingsmediators, vFAS).

Bine Spoormans
Bine Spoormans is a lawyer specialised in family law and a mediator. She mostly provides advice in divorces, maintenance disputes, and in arrangements concerning parental access. The Court of Amsterdam frequently appoints her as a special curator.
