As an experienced sparring partner of entrepreneurs and directors, I like to enable ambitious entrepreneurs to seize opportunities. As a legal advisor, for instance, I am often involved in setting up collaborations between companies and the development of new products. But I also like to help find solutions to difficult situations such as disappointing results or discussions with customers or employees.

In my approach, I always look for reasonableness, without losing sight of my client’s interests. I am committed, critical and communicate in a clear style.

I studied law at Maastricht University. I later successfully completed the vocational training course in law, the post-academic course in labour law at Erasmus University and the course in Intellectual Property at the Vrije Universiteit. In my career, I have acted as in-house lawyer and interim company lawyer for various large and medium-sized companies and institutions. As a result, I have gained extensive experience in, among others, the (high)tech sector and the manufacturing and food industry. I regularly give lectures on various legal topics.

I have an interest in other cultures and good international contacts. This helps me in negotiations with foreign parties and in international (arbitration) proceedings (e.g. in China).
