CV
Astrid biedt haar opdrachtgevers niet alleen ondersteuning in gerechtelijke procedures, maar staat hen ook bij op het gebied van procesinrichting en AVG-compliance.
Zo adviseert Astrid verzekeraars hoe zij door aanpassing van het gebruik van (bijzondere) persoonsgegeven hun bedrijfsvoering kunnen verbeteren en de schadelast beter kunnen beheersen, en hielp zij de branchevereniging voor verzekeraars met het opstellen van de handleiding privacy verzuimverzekeringen die vervolgens is goedgekeurd door de Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens en nu leidend is in de markt.
Met haar expertise op het gebied van personenschade adviseert zij o.a. de NAM bij kwesties rondom de vergoeding van immateriële schade als gevolg van de aardbevingen in het Groningerveld.
Haar cliënten waarderen het dat Astrid haar creativiteit gebruikt om de optimale combinatie te vinden tussen het recht en hun commerciële belang. Astrid kijkt eerst naar de strategische keuzes waar een organisatie voor staat en gaat dan op zoek naar de juiste juridische handvatten. Zij bedenkt praktische, werkbare en commercieel aantrekkelijke oplossingen voor ingewikkelde problemen.
Haar cliënten zeggen over haar:
“Astrid van Noort is heads on, proactive and highly professional.” (Legal 500 2023).
“We very much appreciate the outstanding work of Astrid van Noort. She is able to take on more than her field of expertise.” (Legal 500 2020).
Astrid treedt op voor grote verzekeraars, (brancheorganisaties voor) arbodiensten en re-integratiebedrijven, ziekenhuizen, artsen en medisch adviseurs.
