How does Liza work?
Liza is characterised by her practical approach: she gets straight to the heart of the matter. In legal proceedings and conflict situations, she stands out for her creative and pragmatic approach. She is strong in both communication and legal substance and moves with ease across various levels of organisations. She translates the day-to-day operations of a business into clear, legally sound solutions. Liza primarily advises tech, IT and ICT companies and understands the specific dynamics of this sector: rapid growth and international expansion. In June 2024, she completed the postgraduate specialisation programme at the Grotius Academy in the field of national and international contracting; she is now qualified to call herself a specialist in this field.
Liza herself
“What continues to fascinate me about this profession is the combination of sharp legal analysis and thinking in line with my clients’ commercial realities. Whether it’s a growing tech company, a business in transition or an international scale-up: I love the speed and dynamism with which these companies develop, and I want to be right at the heart of it, providing advice that can keep pace with my clients. Alongside my legal practice, as a conference chair and podcast producer, I enjoy discussing current legal developments with colleagues. That keeps me on my toes and broadens my perspective on the law.”
