Eversheds Faasen introduces four new partners
At Eversheds Faasen, we judge our success on the success of our clients. Our aim is to provide you with top-quality legal advice that will help you get ahead. If you are achieving your ambitions then so are we.
Our philosophy involves focusing on a limited number of legal areas so you get the added value of specialists who really know what they are talking about. You will be dealing with lawyers who are businesslike, but also great to work with – people who genuinely care about your organisation. We are down-to-earth, results-oriented, and commercial. Our advice will always take into consideration the sectors and markets you work in and other factors outside the legal playing field.
Due to the success of our approach, we are taking on a growing number of clients. This has made it necessary to expand our team with people who bring new know-how and years of experience in providing business people with focused advice.
We would like to introduce our four new partners who have recently arrived to further strengthen our service. They are joining a team that is there to help you and work with you. A team that understands how your business ticks and can help you to achieve even more.
“I advise clients in the field of corporate law, with an emphasis on joint ventures, mergers, takeovers and financing. I always try to create something that will last and find a solution that all parties are happy with. This requires more than a passionate enthusiasm for the subject and knowledge of corporate law. A legal framework is also required to help us achieve our clients’ goals. Since there’s often a commercial reason behind a legal choice, it’s important to know what clients think about and what they want to achieve. And that’s how we’re able to quickly build up close ties with a company and get personally involved. This means we can enjoy doing our work even more - and do it better! After all, you can only give really good advice if you know what’s important to your clients.”
“If you’re a good lawyer, your main aim is to help your clients through top-quality service. This isn’t only a matter of expertise: quality also depends on your professional judgement. Each day we deal with new cases that have to be carefully evaluated. I specialise in employment law but, at the same time, I’m interested in more general aspects too, such as what business people do and what makes them tick. This combination is essential in order to make the best possible evaluation of the situation. Other important matters include service, dedication and an environment in which everyone is of the same mind, shares the same ambitions and gives support to one another. That’s the only way in which you can keep on developing your professional qualities and ensure that your clients get the best possible service. And I’ve found the right environment here at Eversheds Faasen.”
“My work at Eversheds Faasen is highly varied: finding legal solutions to the problems businesses face; helping clients organise their company structure in the best possible way; advising them on national and international corporate law and notarial company law; supporting them during a merger, takeover or business succession. Above all it involves working for and with people. All this is a continual challenge and inspiration for me, and it’s exactly why I work at this firm. We’ve got a practical and results-oriented attitude, but at the same time, we never lose sight of the importance of top legal quality. At Eversheds Faasen, we immerse ourselves completely in our clients’ situations. We make sure we know exactly what’s going on and what clients want to achieve. And that’s how we can come up with solutions which actually work in practice.”
“During the year leading up to my partnership, I started setting up the Faasen & Partners’ notarial practice in Rotterdam. It’s a fast-growing practice specialising in national and international corporate law and notarial company law. It operates in a commercial environment, and that’s exactly what appeals to me so much. I can develop my skills with regard to subject matter, but I also enjoy studying my clients’ businesses more closely. A lot of my clients are business people whose entire lives revolve around their companies. They don’t want a solution that looks good on paper; they want a solution that works in practice. This is why we never regard notarial deeds as ’the ultimate goal’. Deeds are a means to achieve our clients’ ends. So we do more than the average civil-law notary, and this makes me feel completely at home at Eversheds Faasen.”
