Leendert represents midsize and large businesses, directors, supervisory directors and senior management. He counsels, negotiates and litigates in complex cases and acts as a sparring partner for directors and regulators. He also serves as deputy judge at the District Court of The Hague and as a mediator in labor law and business conflicts.
Advocate in Heart and Soul
Leendert is an enthusiastic, pragmatic and driven lawyer with strong strategic insight, who can quickly translate complex issues into actionable solutions. He works closely with his clients and vigorously advocates for their interests. “Having justice and getting justice don’t always go hand in hand, but the challenge is to achieve the best possible result in every situation.” Leendert is a real linchpin that is, by and large, regarded as a trusted advisor. His clear and astute analysis of complex issues consistently earn him high praise from clients.
