‘Sander van Leeuwen has always made him­self avail­able and man­aged to get an exper­i­enced team to solve mat­ters. He is not shy to tell you if he is not com­pletely sure on things and will make sure next time we meet he is sure. I would call him a “prac­tic­al” law­yer which makes him valu­able and someone you want on your side.‘

‘The team is able to quickly pro­cess new inform­a­tion and devel­op­ments and provide us with advice, even when they need to involve new col­leagues and expert­ise.‘

‘Sander van Leeuwen was quick to under­stand the com­plex­it­ies of our cases and able to provide us quickly with input and advice.‘

‘The team and indi­vidu­als go above and bey­ond the brief. They are not there to provide the agreed ser­vices but they are there to help the cli­ent close the case/ deal/ etc. For us as a cli­ent that’s the only way to move for­ward. Not many teams from oth­er firms are as ded­ic­ated.‘
