As a lawyer and partner in Litigation & Arbitration at NautaDutilh, Kasper Krzemiński regularly makes seizures, ranging from a consignment of oil to stocks and bank accounts of companies. But as a professor he will mainly look at the legal field in a social context. The new professor pays special attention to the position of the bailiff within enforcement and attachment law.

Krzemiński holds the chair one day a week, in addition to his work as a lawyer. The chair fits very well within the UvA's Faculty of Law. In addition to the chairs for the legal profession, the administration of justice and the Public Prosecution Service, the office of bailiff is now also represented within the ACLPA.

“Rightly so,” says Krzemiński. “It is an important legal profession that plays a central role in enforcement and attachment law. [...] I find enforcement law fascinating. It is an extension of my daily practice and touches on all fields that I find interesting, such as procedural law, property law and private international law. It also concerns the use of coercive measures, which touches on questions about legal protection and access to justice. The relationship between effective and efficient enforcement and the legal protection of debtors is a bit abrasive, and that makes it worth thinking about. This is socially relevant, given the attention to the debt problem and proper administration of justice.”
