Boels Zanders Advocaten

Business Law (Eindhoven office).

The disputes he is involved in are about how people work together. How do you work together to achieve results? How do you run a business? You make the biggest gains by starting with the changes you can influence yourself, Flip observes. Not by focusing on what the other party might be doing wrong. He is always honest with clients on this point.

They know what they can expect from him because he aims for results. And the best result is a solution that leads to the restoration of the values a company creates. Flip combines procedures and techniques to prevent the company from failing on account of the dispute. A solution for the future.

Flip specialises in corporate litigation, insolvencies and restructurings, with an emphasis on corporate and shareholder disputes. The Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal regularly appoints him as an officer in shareholder disputes. Flip has been involved as a trustee in the bankruptcies of companies including Favini paper mills, roller coaster manufacturer Vekoma and property developer Lips.
