Lawyer

Abdi Youssuf is a lawyer specialising in liability and insurance law. He focuses in particular on directors’ liability and professional liability, health insurance and issues concerning insurance and privacy law. His clients describe Abdi as tenacious, enthusiastic, creative and with the mindset of a winner.

Abdi enjoys working with the client to decide on a strategy and figure out the tactical details. Abdi always listens closely and is alert to nuances. He takes the broader context into consideration when determining which points he should emphasise and when he should take action. In court sessions, Abdi savours the contest with the opposing party and the judge.

In professional liability cases, Abdi assists financial service providers, lawyers, notaries, estate agents, sickness absence managers, health and safety doctors, and rehabilitation companies. He always involves his clients in the decision on what strategy to adopt. Sometimes he will recommend an early out-of-court settlement to avoid lengthy proceedings. If this quick remedy proves not possible, Abdi will look for the best strategy for the lawsuit.
