Jan Henk is a shrewd and vigorous lawyer, who combines legal knowledge with a broader view of a case. A case of zooming in and out, as he himself says, to enable him to decide on a good strategy. When tackling disputes, it is not just the legal aspects but also other issues that need to be taken into consideration, such as the internal organization, market position, political processes or media publicity. To get the best possible result in a case, it is important for the lawyer to explore and familiarize himself with these areas so that they become part of the strategy and tactics. TO do this properly, you must also not only be able to put yourself in the position of the client and his interests, but also in those of the other parties involved.Jan Henk van der Veldenis an expert in this art as no other.
