Short answer
Partly. Attorly has jurisdiction-specific review context for Dutch law, but no national legislation database for the Netherlands is connected yet, so research grounds answers in EU law from EUR-Lex. Check national statutes against an official source. Contracts are drafted in Dutch by default, and the interface is available in Dutch.

What the contract review checks under Dutch law
When the Word add-in reviews a contract governed by Dutch law, the model is given these jurisdiction notes, quoted here exactly as the product uses them:
Key references: the Burgerlijk Wetboek (BW), in particular Book 6 Title 5 Section 3 (Articles 6:231–6:247) on general terms and conditions (algemene voorwaarden), and the good-faith duty (redelijkheid en billijkheid) in Articles 6:2 and 6:248. Articles 6:236 (black list) and 6:237 (grey list) presume or outright prohibit specific clauses against consumers; flag any term that matches those lists. Dutch courts actively police exoneration clauses under the reasonableness standard — a clause that is formally valid may still be set aside as unacceptable in the circumstances.
The notes steer what the review looks for. They are not a complete statement of the law, and the model still has to read the contract.
Measured quality
Attorly has not published a benchmark for Dutch law yet. The published benchmarks cover Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Germany, so there is no measured accuracy figure for the Netherlands to rely on.
Who it fits, and who it does not
Best for:
- Reviewing and drafting contracts governed by Dutch law, with context for its legal tradition and default drafting language.
- Cross-border work that also turns on EU law, which research reads from EUR-Lex alongside the national sources.
Not the best fit for:
- Research that depends on the text of national statutes: no national legislation database for the Netherlands is connected yet.
- Buyers who need a published accuracy figure for Dutch law before they start: none is published yet.
- Decisions that need a lawyer’s sign-off. Attorly gives legal information, not legal advice; a qualified lawyer should check anything you rely on.
