Lisa van Velzen

People and their work—it’s a combination that has fascinated and inspired me for years. As an employment lawyer, I get to combine my passion for the law with my sincere interest in people. I firmly believe this is the key to successful collaboration and the best results. 

Our firm’s core value—commitment—is in my DNA. I put myself in my clients’ shoes and feel a deep sense of responsibility for their cases. With a fresh perspective and a flexible attitude, I dive into each case, always ready to work with and for my clients to secure the best deal or the highest outcome in legal proceedings. That’s my promise. 

For me, effective communication is about striking the right balance between speaking and listening. By truly hearing what’s at stake, I can focus on the best opportunities for success. I value direct, approachable contact with my clients—no unnecessary barriers or formalities. 

While I remain open to different perspectives, I am fully committed to my clients’ interests. In every employment dispute, I seek the most effective approach. Sometimes that means tough negotiations, while other times, the best results come from creating stability first. I thrive in this dynamic space. 

In my free time, I unwind with family and friends and love to travel—a great way to gain new impressions and inspiration. I also enjoy good food and a fine glass of wine. And just as a good wine develops with age, my expertise grows with every new challenge.
