Professional background

Professional background

I work on corporate transactions, such as mergers and acquisitions, investments, management buy-outs, joint ventures and other forms of cooperation, representing sellers, buyers and investors, as well as target companies. I also advise W&I insurers on such transactions.

I have over 25 years of corporate experience.  In the last decade, I have focused on the technology and renewable energy sectors. My experience in these sectors has involved working with start-ups, various types of investors, as well as large multinationals.

Together with my partner Marcel Willems, I have developed particular experience in serving clients for German-speaking countries doing business in the Netherlands. 

In 2017, I set up the Amsterdam office of Fieldfisher with four colleagues.

I have registered the following principal (and secondary) legal practice areas in the Netherlands Bar’s register of legal practice areas (rechtsgebiedenregister): Corporate Law (Ondernemingsrecht) as principal area, with M&A (Fusies en overnames) and Company Law (Vennootschappen) as secondary practice areas.
 
Based on this registration, I am required to obtain ten training credits per calendar year in Corporate Law in accordance with the standards set by the Netherlands Bar.
