Commercial Legal Counsel

About Me

I've always been told I lift the spirits of people around me. I'm currently based in Amsterdam, and after many years in private practice law and one year in-house; i'm ready to take the step into leadership. I work well with people, I'm able to translate "legalese" into actual understandable language, and I believe that if you work well as a team you can accomplish anything.
