As an attorney at law (owner) at Van de Graaf Advocatuur in Amsterdam, I advise and litigate in the areas of inheritance law and family law, both for entrepreneurs (sole-practitioners, directors-owners) and for private individuals. Next to that, I advise and litigate in the areas of contract law and commercial law, particularly for entrepreneurs.In April 1999 I started as an attorney at law in Amsterdam. At that time I’ve specialized in providing legal services to entrepreneurs in the small and medium-sized businesses sector, both national and international, particularly in the areas of contract law and commercial law.After I joined Advocatenkantoor Dex Legal in Heemstede as a partner in September 2015, I extended my advisory and litigation practice in corporate law with the areas of inheritance law and family law. After all, also entrepreneurs can be involved in the division of an inheritance or a divorce, which affects their company and their entrepreneurship directly.Priorities in my practice are approachability, quick availability and transparency. Next to professional legal services, I also provide my clients a sounding board. The concept I pursue is to handle in line with my client as much as possible.I keep up to date with developments in the fields of (international) civil law and procedural law. Also, I am a member of the Vereniging Erfrecht Advocaten Nederland (VEAN), the Nederlandse Vereniging voor Procesrecht and the Duits-Nederlandse Advocatenvereniging.My character can best be described as practical and to-the-point. Skilled in communication and convincing. Creative in devising a suitable solution in order to achieve the intended target, even off the beaten track. Short lines of communication and reporting and using clear language. I am thinking in realistic solutions, not in problems.
