Background

Before Simone started her law degree, she attended fashion college; she has also worked on a freelance basis for fashion brands and magazines. This experience taught her to set priorities, agree realistic deadlines and stick to them with iron self-discipline. She still benefits from these skills as a lawyer.

Simone studied Dutch law at the University of Amsterdam. During her Bachelor’s, she spent six months at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. During her degree studies, she did the honours programme and worked as a legal employee in a large law firm. She joined Ekelmans as a lawyer in 2018.
