Building on a strong foundation

LAW.next builds on a rich history dating back to 1987. For many years, the former Bureau for Post-Academic Education was successfully led by Marlie Sprengers. Five years ago, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, she handed over the reins to Ellen Schmidt-Essers. Under her leadership, a clear strategic direction was set and a rebranding process was initiated. The launch of LAW.next at the end of 2021 marked a new phase, with a contemporary positioning, a forward-looking approach, and the growth of the team.

Today, LAW.next focuses on legal professionals in the Netherlands, with strong roots in Limburg and the ambition to expand its offering further into the Euregion. Its portfolio includes open courses and tailored in-company training programmes, always with a focus on current developments, practical applicability and academic quality.
