Career
Dorine was the firm’s only female founder. She specializes in contract law and has a commercial advice and litigation practice.

She has a lot of experience advising on IT contracts, covering subjects such as licensing, software as a service, cloud contracts, e-commerce, etc. Under previous legislation Dorine already advised on privacy aspects, but with the implementation of the GDPR privacy has become a real hot issue. Dorine advises on all aspects of privacy law, including complex international data transfers, whistleblower policies and online marketing. In addition, she is frequently involved in civil proceedings, for example relating to failing IT projects, and in disputes about attributable failures, dissolution, cancellation, authorization, price/payment, liability and tort.
