After studying law at Utrecht University, Richard first served his military service and then worked as a claims handler, the last two years of which he worked in the fraud department. However, the legal profession kept beckoning, and he has been working as a lawyer at Van Veen Advocaten since 2001.

Here he is part of the labor law (including civil service law) and personal and family law sections and still deals with non-life insurance law. He is registered as an MfN registered mediator and in that capacity he helps parties find a solution without the intervention of a judge. Richard’s clients include individuals, insurers and SME entrepreneurs.

“Richard is an energetic and approachable attorney who works hard for his clients. With Richard, no fuss, but clear and understandable advice. He is good at listening to the wishes of his clients and using that to determine their position and options. Clients quickly feel at ease with Richard, also because of his humor and openness. He stands next to the client and determines with him or her what action needs to be taken. He carries that out smoothly and precisely.”
