Lars is the owner and co-founder of Westhoff Van Namen. He worked for a law firm for more than ten years as a corporate lawyer specializing in sports, gaming and gambling. After that, he made the switch to the corporate world. For more than three years, he headed the legal department of one of the Netherlands’ largest gambling companies.

Due to his experience, he not only has an eye for your legal interests, but he also knows exactly what you as an entrepreneur want from your legal advisor.

As a lawyer, Lars is primarily involved in supporting complex projects of licensed companies, such as guiding transactions (takeovers), applying for permits and litigating revoked permits. In addition, Lars has a great deal of experience with disputes with regulators, including the Gaming Authority.

Despite the fact that Lars is a lawyer, his pragmatic approach and clear language will make you forget that you are dealing with a lawyer. For many of his clients, that is precisely the reason to work with him.

Lars is frequently asked to give guest lectures at universities and colleges about his specialisms and is regularly asked for comment in the media as a gambling specialist.
