Anke Feenstra is partner of Hertoghs advocaten, a Dutch boutique law firm specialised in defense of fraud cases and tax litigation.

Anke was studying criminal law and tax law at the Utrecht University, when she first got to know Hertoghs advocaten, the (at that time) only law firm specialised in exactly these two areas of law. Directly after her graduation in 2002 she joined the office. In 2013 she became a partner.

During her career as a lawyer Anke has specialised in white-collar crime; tax fraud as well as bankruptcy fraud, money laundering and violation of sanction law. She is also experienced in tax litigation on foreign assets (including voluntary disclosure procedures) and the formal (tax) aspects of customs and excise cases. Anke is well-known for her excellent knowledge of details and her straight and duly motivated defense strategies. She will not stop until her client has found a way out of a difficult position.

Anke is a board member and head of the scientific desk. She has a special interest in the developments on the profession of lawyers. Consequently, she isaiming to preserve the legal privilege of the client-attorney relationship as well as the high quality standards that are expected of lawyers. Anke is therefore one of the coaches for our new paralegals and associates at our office and is a member of various committees.
