What are the benefits of mediation?
Some of our family lawyers also work as mediators. I am one of them. Mediation in family law cases is on the rise. Nevertheless, some ambiguities about mediation still exist.

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.
Netherlands Bar – register of legal practice areas
Dylan Bertsch has registered the following legal practice areas in the Netherlands Bar’s register of legal practice areas (rechtsgebiedenregister):
This registration obliges him to obtain ten training credits per calendar year in each registered principal legal practice area in accordance with the standards set by the Netherlands Bar.
Some of our family lawyers also work as mediators. I am one of them. Mediation in family law cases is on the rise. Nevertheless, some ambiguities about mediation still exist.
When calculating child maintenance, the first step is to determine a child's needs.
Agreements must be made in the case of divorce, end of a registered partnership or breakup of a relationship.
