Mark Dijkstra

The best solutions are often simple, but they’re not always obvious. That sounds great, but some employment law issues require more than just fine words.

Ask Mark Dijkstra, an expert employment lawyer with over 15 years of experience. His focus is on (international) companies and executives. He advises on matters such as reorganisations, mergers and acquisitions, and complex termination issues. Mark honed his expertise as a lawyer at publicly traded financial institutions. He combines this with legal agility, thanks to the completion of the Grotius Labour Law specialisation, which he finished with honours (cum laude).

With Mark, you can expect a clear roadmap and a straightforward approach. The structure Mark brings to his cases allows him to maintain oversight and concentrate on achieving results. Clients appreciate his focus and effectiveness.

Honesty and clear communication are crucial. So, if Mark catches an opposing lawyer engaging in “tendentious and legal nonsense” they’ll hear about it. For Mark, no political games – what you see is what you get.

His strong engagement comes from the energy and enjoyment he gets from working together. Collaborating with clients and colleagues towards a concrete goal: if Mark had to choose, he might find this aspect of his work even more rewarding than the legal work itself.

At GMW lawyers, Mark has the freedom to explore. The firm is as independent-minded as he is, and he recognises himself in its non-conformity. Mark can fully immerse himself professionally without sacrificing his adventurous spirit outside the office. So, unless Mark’s dream of becoming an explorer takes over, he’s not choosing anything above GMW lawyers.
