As an associate in our Intellectual Property Group in Amsterdam, I specialise mainly in patent disputes and trade secrets. Within Bird & Bird's Intellectual Property Group, I advise and litigate on all areas of Intellectual Property and mainly focus on patent disputes and trade secrets. Next to this, I am particularly interested in the life sciences and healthcare industry. Working on complex and interesting legal intellectual property issues gives me energy. What motivates me is to offer clients the best advice and tailor-made solutions to complex legal matters while not losing sight of the interests of the client. Before joining Bird & Bird, I worked at another international law firm and interned at multiple international and niche law firms as well as the Embassy of the Netherlands in Paris. I am a member of the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (AIPPI) and the Association of Young Litigators (VJP).
