The holistic approach of Van Leeuwen Law Firm forms the core of its commitment to legal equality and accessibility for all, regardless of socio-economic status. This approach is not solely focused on providing reactive legal assistance but emphasizes a proactive and strategic approach aimed at preventing legal issues, identifying risks early on, and providing solid advice and effective solutions. The fundamental principle behind this approach is that legal assistance is more than just resolving legal conflicts; it is a means to address structural inequality and ensure justice for all citizens.
The seven fundamental pillars of this holistic approach—prevention, detection, investigation, response, advice, procedures, and negotiation—are designed to address a wide range of legal challenges. Each of these pillars is intrinsically connected to the corporate social responsibility policy of Van Leeuwen Law Firm. Together, they form an integrated strategy that facilitates access to legal aid regardless of a client’s financial resources, while tackling legal inequality in society. VIA SEBASTIANO plays a pivotal role in breaking down financial barriers and making legal assistance accessible to those who need it most, thus putting the social objectives of the firm into practice.
Prevention: Awareness and Empowerment as the First Line of Defense
The first step toward a just society begins with prevention. Attorney B.A.S. van Leeuwen recognizes that many legal problems arise due to a lack of information and awareness among citizens. Therefore, he actively focuses on education and empowerment for communities most vulnerable to legal exclusion.
Through initiatives such as legal consultation sessions, workshops, and partnerships with social organizations, Attorney B.A.S. van Leeuwen ensures that citizens are aware of their rights before becoming entangled in legal disputes. VIA SEBASTIANO plays a central role in this by making legal knowledge widely accessible through digital means. Citizens gain easy access to essential information about their rights and obligations, enabling them to take preventive measures and avoid legal pitfalls.
Prevention is not just a theoretical approach but an active strategy to structurally reduce inequality. By enhancing citizens’ legal resilience, social and economic disadvantages are prevented from translating into legal disadvantages. This ensures that the legal system functions as a safeguard for all, rather than as an instrument controlled solely by the powerful.
Detection: Early Identification of Legal Risks
