Matthijs Nelemans

Matthijs Nelemans founded Neemley on a conviction that complex enforcement matters require more than legal expertise alone. Trained in both law and economics, he brings a dual lens to every matter: the legal framework and the economic reality underneath it. This combination has led to criminal cases dropped, administrative matters settled, and civil disputes resolved through arguments that others had not seen.

As Professor of Financial Law Enforcement at Tilburg Law School, Matthijs shapes the next generation of thinking about enforcement and regulation. The academic work and the practice share the same drive: the belief that better understanding leads to better outcomes, whether in a courtroom, a classroom, or a boardroom.

Before founding Neemley, Matthijs practised law at De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek in Amsterdam. He has been a guest researcher at Harvard Law School and Columbia Law School.
