Jan Peter IJspeert and Femke Stroucken stand out for their deal-oriented, practical and collaborative approach. They understand our business and objectives and provide us with clear and effective guidance. They are always available, reliable and committed.’
‘What I appreciate most is that Tijmen Brüne and his team keep in mind what the overall goal is. Which in our case is working together on (real estate) transactions. Tijmen is able to estimate whether certain risks, flagged during DD, are actual red flags or risks that can be accepted given the nature of the transaction. This results in a very smooth and efficient way of working. By working with Tijmen we are always certain that we do not lose valuable time on minor issues. Last, but not least, he is also a great person to work with. ’

‘Jan Peter IJspeert stands out because of his response time, and his tone of voice. His experience and negotiation skills really add value to the deal. In deals I leave it up to him to instruct his team or add knowledge from other sections. ’
‘CMS and especially Jan Peter and Femke have been excellent partners for our transactions. They are deal-driven, pragmatic and work well as a team. They always deliver high-quality advice and solutions, tailored to our needs and goals. We highly appreciate their responsiveness, professionalism and dedication.’
‘Arnout Scholten is able to act in a discussion without prior consultation because he is aware of our needs and requirements. Having legal assistance who is able to act like this is key for our relationship and makes it possible that CMS can think further than the actual question on the table.’
