With the arrival of Frederick Leentfaar (founder of Feyr Law), Lawrence strengthens its practice at the intersection of data protection, AI, and technology. This further builds on the firm's course as an international, entrepreneurial boutique. This new addition follows shortly after the Legal 500 "Firm to Watch EMEA 2026" listing that Lawrence received within 3 months of its relaunch.

THE HAGUE / AMSTERDAM / EINDHOVEN, June 22, 2026
Lawrence welcomes Frederick Leentfaar as a new partner. Leentfaar is the founder of Feyr Law, the boutique firm for data, technology, and AI, established in 2025. With this addition, Lawrence now consists of three lawyers and two paralegals.

International Big Tech Expertise

Frederick Leentfaar brings over 17 years of experience in privacy and technology law. He combines a strong foundation in international legal practice (Taylor Wessing) with in-depth in-house experience at one of the world's largest technology companies (Meta). In the summer of 2025, he started his own boutique firm, Feyr Law, introducing an innovative, product-oriented, and pragmatic approach to the market.

“Legal advice in the tech sector too often gets bogged down in abstract risks and theoretical objections,” says Leentfaar. “We speak the language of product developers and the boardroom. By making clear, risk-based choices, we help drive innovation forward instead of blocking processes. At Lawrence, I recognize the vision and courage to truly do things differently from the established order: entrepreneurial, decisive, and with collaboration as a guiding principle. Together, we are building a strong international practice.”

Guide in Complex Technological Transitions

“Lawrence is built on the conviction that regulation should accelerate innovation, not hinder it,” says Jeroen van Woezik. “We guide our clients through today's complex technological transitions, driven by knowledge, sharp vision, collaboration, and humanity. Frederick shares that ambition and strengthens the team at the crucial intersection of product technology and law. With his arrival, we are taking the next logical step in expanding our practice, advising clients across the full spectrum: from the first line of code to international market introduction, and from in-depth tech compliance to complex international issues.”

About Lawrence

Lawrence is an independent boutique firm for data protection, AI & technology. The firm guides innovative organizations through the major transitions of our time (AI, energy and sustainability, digital autonomy, security and resilience, the digitization of healthcare, and the data economy) and translates complex EU regulations (GDPR, AI Act, Data Act, DORA, NIS2, and DSA) into practical solutions. Based on the belief that regulation should accelerate innovation and not hinder it, Lawrence combines deep legal knowledge with creativity and technology. The firm operates with a human and collaborative approach and develops its own AI tools, such as an incident response agent and DPIA tooling. In 2026 (three months after its relaunch), Lawrence received the Legal 500 “Firm to Watch EMEA 2026” listing.
