Testimonial
One of the most important things I have learned is to listen to you. Don’t just provide a solution, but work with you on the solution. Listen, ask questions and understand. That’s the only way I can advise you or solve your problem. As a lawyer, I advise companies and directors in difficult situations. This concerns restructurings (in or precisely to prevent bankruptcy) or liability issues. I am available as a restructuring expert or observer in WHOA procedures. In addition, I am regularly appointed by courts in the Netherlands as curator in bankruptcies and administrator in suspensions of payments. This allows me to adapt to different types of companies and industries and I can quickly familiarize myself with industry-specific working methods and regulations.
