Testimonials
‘Practical, pragmatic and down-to-earth expert advice.’
‘Minos van Joolingen is easy going, down to earth and able to easily translate difficult concepts in an understandable way to be easily shared with the rest of the business (non-legal stakeholders). He is a quick thinker, with a good business / commercial sense, easy to reach, extremely responsive and client focused.’
‘The firm has the knowledge and expertise of the larger ‘zuidas’ law firms, and also has the culture of the smaller regional law firms. The communication lines are very short. The team is very well familiar in the automotive industry and is a leading authority for automotive dealer groups and dealer associations. Their knowledge of competition law in the automotive retail business is exceptional.’
