Wouter was previously employed with DLA Piper and before that with Houthoff. He specialises in international arbitration and cross-border litigation. According to Wouter, Legaltree\u2019s \u2018partners only\u2019 approach is the perfect match for the type of cases he handles.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Legaltree has a reputable and flourishing dispute resolution practice, which I will be happy to add my experience to\u2019, says Wouter. \u2018With three experienced arbitration partners we will be able to serve our clients even better in complex disputes\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Arbitration cases are often complex and intensive\u2019, explains Wouter, \u2018with matters coming to a climax at the hearing. In my view this requires a highly specialised team of lawyers, each member of which should know and have command of the case in detail. Personal partner attention is in Legaltree\u2019s DNA, which means that it represents a perfect match with my own practice. Together with partners Max van Leyenhorst and Sander Oorthuys I will be able to team up quickly and efficiently. In addition, Legaltree can count on excellent backup in terms of file management and legal research, to be used as the case requires. Clients will experience this as pleasant, economical and efficient.\u2018<\/p>\n<h2>About Wouter de Clerck<\/h2>\n<p>Wouter started his career as a lawyer with Houthoff in 2006, following which he joined the arbitration practice group of DLA Piper in 2012.
