CV
Astrid not only offers her clients support in legal proceedings, but also assists them in the field of process design and GDPR compliance.
For example, Astrid advises insurance companies on complicated privacy-related business processes to improve their operations, allowing them to achieve substantial cost savings and optimal business results. Astrid also helped the Dutch Association of Insurers to draw up a manual on privacy in sickness insurance. This manual has since been approved by the Dutch Data Protection Authority and is now the preeminent guide in the sector.
Drawing on her expertise in the field of personal injury and damage, she advises NAM (the national gas company), for example, on matters concerning financial compensation for immaterial damage caused by the earthquakes in the Groningen gas field.
Astrid’s clients value the creative way in which she finds an optimum balance between the legal aspects and their commercial interests. Astrid first looks at the strategic choices an organisation faces and then selects the right legal tools for the job. She creates practical, workable and commercially attractive solutions for complex problems.

Astrid works for large insurers, the Dutch Association of Insurers, hospitals, doctors (including as expert witnesses) and medical advisers.
