Johannes van Diemerbroeck earned a doctoral degree in Law at Utrecht University (De injuriis et famosis libellis) on 8 October 1668. On the same day, he was officially permitted to work as an advocate for the Hof van Holland (Album advocatorum, p. 109). A man of considerable wealth, he lived at the Domskerkhof (Utrecht, HUA, DTB, inv. no. 45,4, fol. 254), and owned the manor ‘Koeckenhoeff’ and land in Schalkwijk (HUA, 34-4: ‘Notarissen in de stad Utrecht 1560–1905’, ms. ‘Nicolaus van Vechten’, inv. no. 86, U064a008). That latter document affirms that Van Diemerbroeck worked as a lawyer in the Court of Utrecht in 1679. He corresponded with, among others, Leibniz.

Van Diemerbroeck served as a intermediary in the correspondence between Leibniz and Spinoza.
