Career
As a lawyer/partner, Daan Spoormans specialises in (international) contract law and corporate law. He heads the Corporate Law section at Ekelmans Advocaten. His clients describe him as knowledgeable, committed and approachable.
Daan’s legal practice has two areas of focus. Companies with international operations, insurers and law firms from other jurisdictions frequently ask him to assist them with complex disputes related to contracts. In addition to Dutch, Daan speaks and writes both English and German fluently.
Daan has an acute understanding of both the legal and the strategic aspects. His approach is thorough but also cost-efficient. He is hard on the content and soft on the person. In his analysis, he considers the interests of stakeholder parties as well as the legal positions these parties could adopt (or have adopted).
Daan joined Ekelmans as a lawyer in 2008 and became a partner in January 2022.
Daan is an arbitrator (dispute resolver) at the arbitration tribunal of the German-Dutch Chamber of Commerce.
Education
Daan graduated in Dutch law from the University of Groningen in 2007. In 2012, Daan completed the postgraduate specialist course on entering into contracts nationally and internationally at the Grotius Academie, gaining a distinction.
