I have been working with Jan ter Horst for years and with Bastiaan Siemers for a number of years now. It is beyond doubt that they are professionals, who assist us very adequately in legal matters, but even more important is the fact that they are also particularly sympathetic individuals, which definitely contributes to our pleasant cooperation!

H.K. Swaters (De Nieuwe Zorgorganisatie)
In several issues and procedures, as well as in a number of procedural legal matters, the New Care Organisation has become acquainted with several Legaltree partners. First and foremost, there is the expertise of Jan ter Horst, Willemijn Lever and Sander Oorthuys that stands out. Their advice is ‘to the point’, which has enabled our organisation to structure itself in a better way and, consequently, to perform and operate at a higher level. In procedures, our interests as a client are always recognized, while a risk assessment and reasonableness always form part of the basis for their balanced advice. As a result, we, as a client of Legaltree, have always received the best possible assistance.
