Diversity

Our mix of different backgrounds and personalities is what defines SIX advocaten. We believe in an open and non-hierarchical work environment, where everyone is free to voice their ideas. We use each of our individual strengths and consult and support each other in our aim to provide the best possible service to our clients. All of our partners are highly-regarded experts in their field of law. We understand you have a business to run and want to understand your business. We strive to provide practical and hands-on solutions. We take an active part in the legal community. One of our partners, Irma van den Berg, is the president of the board of Lawyers for Lawyers (L4L), an independent and non-political Dutch foundation that supports and enables lawyers all over the world to do their work as lawyers freely and independently.
