Alongside my career as a lawyer, I still give concerts and recitals as a professional violinist (to the extent work permits, of course!) I am convinced that this also boosts a creative and collaborative side which I use in my work as a lawyer. I enjoy publishing and talking about the latest developments in my fields of expertise. I am the co-founder and co-head of our Dutch knowledge portal, BirdBuzz (). As I combine a busy law practice with quite a number of managerial tasks within the firm, including management of a group of 45, I bring people skills and pragmatism to the table (board room) as well. I have managed large internal compliance investigations and other projects requiring legal crisis management skills. Teamwork with the client is essential, and it's the part of the work I enjoy most, the clients are the true specialists on the subject matter. Dispute resolution is, more often than not, in fact dispute management - balancing all the issues at stake, at the right time. Insurance and claims work, whether based on contract or on tort, and whether about an infrastructural project or about a violation of sector-specific regulation, requires ample experience in cases with complex causation and damage assessment issues. The way in which we work has no boundaries in sectors, but we have a particular knack for Insurance, Tech & Comms, Construction & Infrastructure, Energy, Life Sciences and Industry. Our cases are often defined by the fact that they require extensive act-finding and insight in the relevant technology. This insight helps from the very first stages of any dispute and litigation advice.
As a Supreme Court litigator I know very well how 'lower' judges work, to which extent they are restricted by formalities and what their methods are on, for example, interpretational issues. As one of the few qualified Supreme Court litigators in the Netherlands, I have the required granular knowledge of the law on civil procedures, cross-border litigation and enforcement. It's all about strategic pre-trial advice, negotiation skills and knowledge about which formal and informal buttons to push in legal proceedings. We don't work with standardised solutions, as every client and every case is unique. My team and I are passionate about providing a tailor-made approach.
I am Co-Head of Bird & Bird's international Dispute Resolution group and I am Head of our International Insurance group. With my team I aim to be the best disputes adviser, from the initial piece of advice via the negotiation table to, if needs be, the Supreme Court. Head of the Dutch Dispute Resolution practice, qualified Supreme Court litigator with a 'knack for tech' and a specialist in managing complicated disputes, including all claims and insurance matters.
