Van der Laan was born in Leiden, the eldest son of the architect Leo van der Laan. He worked with his father from 1921 until Leo's death in 1942, mostly in Leiden and the surrounding area. After his father's death Jan had various partners in the architectural practice, which continued for many years to design significant buildings in the Netherlands. The partners were: Jan Hermans and Theo van der Eerden, and later Jules Kirch and Henk Blansjaar, who continued the practice until 1984. The practice was one of the largest in the Netherlands and specialised in work for Catholic clients in the style of the Delft School.

Jan van der Laan was a brother of Dom Hans van der Laan, also an architect, as was their youngest brother Nico.
