His approach
Before entering the legal profession, he was a player (1984-1996) and captain (1988-1996) of the Dutch Men's field hockey team. At the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, he won the Olympic title with the Dutch team. In 1996 he was awarded the civilian Order of the Lion of the Netherlands. His sports mentality is also reflected in his work as a lawyer. “Everyone is responsible for his or her success and together we are for the success of our firm.”
Towards opposing parties, Marc adopts a friendly attitude. “By showing a respectful attitude toward your opposing party, it is easier to take a step toward ending a dispute. After all, that's where clients benefit the most.”
Service in optima forma is of paramount importance to Marc. “As lawyers, we are service providers. So I think it is important to be available at all times, to always answer the phone and to communicate regularly and clearly with our clients. As a firm, that's how you can really make a difference.”
