About Wouter Ursem

Corporate and insolvency lawyer and sparring partner for you and your company

Since the beginning of his career, Wouter has worked as a lawyer in the Alkmaar area. Born and raised in the province of Noord-Holland and coming from an entrepreneurial family, Wouter knows better than most what is important for business owners in this area of the country and how to take the burden off their shoulders. Wouter thus fits perfectly within the Corporate Law practice group in the Alkmaar office, where he provides advice and litigates, especially in connection with liability issues, starting and ending collaborative ventures and performance conflicts with suppliers/principals. He is also experienced in drafting and reviewing agreements and imposing attachments. In his insolvency law practice, he advises and litigates in cases relating to directors' liability, fraudulent preferences, financing and security and other issues, and handles bankruptcies as (acting) trustee.

In his spare time, Wouter is a fanatical tennis player and golfer and he enjoys running. He has also played football for many years and enjoys going skiing. While playing sports, Wouter tries to get the best out of himself. This is also how he represents his clients' interests; sharp and with a drive to win.

Wouter speaks the language of business, is easily approachable, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in business owners and their businesses. Wouter is a problem solver with sound legal knowledge and a practical outlook. He handles his cases with purpose, drive and good humour.

Client experiences

“Wouter and Sabine assisted us with 2 matters that we look back on particularly positively. A professional, discreet and fast approach. Short lines, convincing and results-oriented. In collaboration with them, we successfully terminated an agreement. In addition, we were guided in drawing up the shareholders' agreement for a new business between our company and a partner where the joint interests and wishes have been correctly translated into the agreement. Through good communication, the agreement was achieved effectively and in a short time.”

Mom's Meals

“In 2022, Wouter Ursem made an important contribution by founding the OpenWaste UA Cooperative. Wouter prepared and finalized the articles of association and membership agreement. His presence during unofficial membership meetings was much appreciated. I am convinced that this will allow us to officially establish the cooperative more quickly.”
