Based in our Amsterdam office, Michaël heads our firm's Liability Law practice group. This is an area of law dealing with damage and compensation in a broad sense. Michaël often handles high-profile and "mediagenic" cases, with his practice focusing in general on disputes involving unlawful acts and breaches of contract. If the essence of your case is to obtain compensation or to put up a defence against a claim for damages, your case is in good hands with Michaël. Michaël's clients include (high-net-worth) individuals, companies and insurers.

In particular, over the years Michaël has specialised in personal injury cases, cases involving fraud or scams, insurance disputes and professional negligence. Against the backdrop of a growing claims culture, Michaël advises and litigates for and against lawyers, accountants, estate agents, civil-law notaries, financial advisers and other advisers, directors, trustees and others in civil damages cases and disciplinary proceedings. Michaël has a background in criminal law, which serves him well in fraud and scam cases.
