Van Doorne wins the Chambers Europe Client Service Award

The Client Service Award is awarded to those firms whose lawyers, according to their clients, excel in approachability, accessibility and dedication. Based on feedback provided by clients of Van Doorne in the past year, Van Doorne won the Client Service Award 2010 for the Netherlands.

Thijs Clement, managing partner of Van Doorne: “More than anything, our service is about being sharp, quick, solution-driven and communicative. This award is coveted proof that our legal services are highly valued.”


Sonja Boekman Prize

Van Doorne won the Sonja Boekman prize for the most effective diversity policy for women. The prize is a joint initiative of OSR Legal Training and the Netherlands Bar Association.
Long before gender diversity became an issue in the professional services sector, Van Doorne stood out from other law firms due to its large number of female partners.
Van Doorne’s proven diversity policy and the embedding of that policy in the organisation were decisive factors for the jury.
