Charlotte always prepared thoroughly for hearings, bringing extensive knowledge to the table — a quality that is not only pleasant for a client but also of great value in the courtroom. A wonderful combination of a pleasant personality and a diligent professional.

It is always difficult to be involved as an outsider in a situation where a lot of facts are important to settle a difficult and long-running case as quickly as possible. Birgitte appears to have absolutely no difficulty in doing so. She knows how to organize both the factual/business information and the emotional components well, allowing her to get to work quickly and take charge. That is very nice and feels familiar. Thanks for the fine cooperation Birgitte!

Despite the unpleasant time, Ciska Elsinga pleasantly assisted me in realizing my divorce. Due to several circumstances, my divorce was more complicated, including an international aspect. Therefore, I was looking for a family law attorney with enough experience. Ciska came across as competent and gave me honest advice. The conversations I had with her were pleasant. She thought with me about the most appropriate solutions.

Thanks to Harjo and Kelly, we opted for bankruptcy in time. It was not an easy decision, but ultimately it was the best choice for both the company and the staff. Because of them, we knew exactly what to do in this difficult situation.
Jeroen and Jasper were quick to make themselves extremely clear, and advised me not to roll out the system in the way I had envisaged as the risks were simply too great. Although I was naturally disappointed at first, I am glad to have received such open and honest advice.
Matthy, Harjo and Jasper were very pleasant to work with and responded rapidly to changes. Thanks in part to their expertise and strategic advice, we were able to resolve the dispute and achieve a very satisfactory result. As a copyright specialist, Jasper provided us with a rock-solid legal foundation. This had a major influence on the final outcome.

Kelly was the perfect partner for reviewing our franchise agreements. Her experience and specialist knowledge of franchise law enabled her to discuss the franchise aspects of our business in both practical and legal terms. The communication between us was very pleasant, both for us and for our franchisees.
Very occasionally, you run into an opportunity you simply cannot afford to ignore. In that case, it’s a matter of not hesitating and acting quickly and decisively. Thanks to Matthy's knowledge and experience, plus the backing of English documentation and a network of foreign contacts, Matthy and his team proved to be the ideal advisers to help us complete this deal.
