Dylan Bertsch

Dylan is a committed and passionate lawyer who is specialised in family law.

He works carefully and is results-orientated. Dylan not only acts in an advisory and mediating role for his clients; when a case is taken to court, he argues it with verve.

In recent years, Dylan has developed into a maintenance specialist, for both child maintenance and partner maintenance (alimony). He is further engaged in settling complex prenuptial agreements and distributing the community of property. His previous experience as an inheritance lawyer is useful in this regard. Dylan also always pays attention to the best interests of the child.

Dylan recently contributed to the International Comparative Legal Guide – Family Law 2021 (Netherlands)

In addition to being a lawyer, Dylan is a mediator. Is it your wish to come to an agreement together? Would you rather come to solutions with each other in order to avoid going to court? Then you can also turn to Dylan.

In addition to his work at GMW lawyers, Dylan lectures for organisations and universities and publishes in professional journals. He also works at Leiden University as a lecturer in Moot Court and at the KNVB as a prosecutor for amateur football. Due to his interest in football, Dylan also regularly blogs about legal developments within the football world.
