CV
Pim advises on documenting and structuring agreements. He drafts commercial contracts and general terms and conditions. In addition, he litigates on business disputes, for example on the fulfilment of agreements between suppliers and distributors or directors’ liability cases.
Pim also deals with corporate governance within various companies. This is expressed, for example, in his role as secretary of the Supervisory Board and General Assembly of ADO Den Haag.
Pim has good contact with his clients, but can also ask critical questions if necessary to get the most important facts on the table. By asking the right questions and thinking carefully about the right strategy, legal proceedings are not always necessary.
Background
