Chambers Global 2024 legal rankings. Karel Frielink has been selected as a ranked lawyer in Chambers Global 2024 identifying him as one of the best lawyers in the Dutch Caribbean (Band 1). He has been ranked Band 1 for the 15th time.PersonalI live in the Dutch Caribbean (Curaçao). I have three confessions. First, I am an attorney. Second, I’m not sure what made me decide to become an attorney. Third, I seem to be pretty good at what I do. Most people, including my clients, think that I am a professional with a sense of humor, open-minded, and full of energy. BusinessI was the managing partner of Spigt Dutch Caribbean until 1 October 2014. As of 1 January 2015 I am the managing partner of BZSE Attorneys at Law in Curacao. I really like practicing in the Dutch Caribbean because it’s a perfect mix: working in an almost tropical environment and getting paid for it too...My specialties are corporate law, finance law, corporate governance and dispute resolution. Until 2024, I was the sole representative of ICC’s FraudNet for the Dutch Caribbean (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, St. Maarten, St. Eustatius and Saba). FraudNet is an international network of independent lawyers who are the leading civil asset recovery specialists in each country. FraudNet is operating under the aegis of the International Chamber of Commerce.BZSE Attorneys at Law & Tax Advisers is about people, not about cases!There is also some 'non-legal stuff' in my life: Who wouldn’t want a real “Frielink” on the wall? In addition to my work as a lawyer and legal scholar, I have been active as a non-professional photographer for years.My photos sometimes make it to the newspaper or an international maritime magazine. A modest selection can be seen in my virtual store at “Werk aan de Muur” (“Art on the Wall”) and can be ordered there as well (https://www.werkaandemuur.nl/nl/shop/Karel-Frielink/166723). Perhaps there is a photograph among the collection that you can already see hanging on your wall.
