I solve problems

Business focussed Legal Counsel with an MBA-degree. Over 20 years of experience as in-house (General) Counsel and as a corporate lawyer at international law firms. I provide interim solutions and legal consultancy services.

I bring positivity, energy and solution-driven advice to the table.

I am an all-round senior legal counsel with specific expertise in the field of corporate law, commercial contracting, M&A transactions, governance and compliance. In addition, I have experience with establishing and managing a legal department and with the preparation and execution of complex legal projects. With strong analytical skills, I can quickly get a good understanding of the organisation and the key drivers of a business. As a result, I am capable of making the connection between the business side and the legal side of a project.
