As an experienced tax lawyer with over seven years of practical and academic expertise, I offer specialized tax services for international entrepreneurs navigating the complexities of the Dutch tax system. My career began at one of the Big Four firms, where I spent five years in international tax practice before establishing my own boutique tax practice. Over the past two years, I’ve successfully assisted companies and high net-worth individuals in managing the unique challenges of Dutch tax laws.
I also contribute to academia as a lecturer at The Hague, Rotterdam, and VU University in Amsterdam. As a graduation supervisor at VU University, I guide students through their final projects, preparing them for successful careers in tax law.
With specialized knowledge in international tax planning and tax litigation, I effectively represent clients in cross-border taxation matters and contentious tax disputes. My expertise includes wage tax, (corporate) income tax, and tax litigation, and I regularly publish in academic journals. If you’re an international entrepreneur seeking a knowledgeable and experienced tax lawyer to help you navigate the Dutch tax system, I am here to assist you with practical, reliable, and expert advice.
