About me

Hi I am Heleen: a creative, commercial and resolute all-round strategic legal expert with a drive for purposeful projects and ventures.

After graduating from law school, I started my career at a law firm and specialized in labor law and corporate litigation. Having advised many clients, both local and international and being involved in lengthy litigation and court proceedings, I realized that I was more driven by prevention of conflicts and finding long term solutions serving both parties. I started working as an in-house legal counsel and found pleasure in balancing the underlying business considerations while solving the legal issues.

Driving sustainable change through legal vision and entrepreneurial spirit

I enjoy working in innovative manufacturing companies operating in crucial markets, like energy, preservation of (natural) resources with a focus on sustainable solutions. Being focused on the commercial and long-term strategy of a company and through multi-disciplinary cooperation I am able to provide solid legal advice that will include your company’s strategic, operational and business interests. I like working as a partner for the business, with open and transparent communication, eager and curious, to help drive and reach the company’s goals. 

Passionate about entrepreneurship and long-term impact, I foster transformative change for a more inclusive and sustainable future, empowering businesses to thrive while making a meaningful impact. This resulted in the incorporation of DeManDaad where I help businesses to develop strategies, setting up legal frameworks and contracts, scaling operations, and advancing new phases of growth.

Mission:

To provide strategic, clear, and personalized legal counsel that empowers responsible companies to make sustainable, efficient, and long-term-aligned decisions.

Vision:

To be a trusted partner for organizations seeking lasting impact, combining law, strategy, and collaboration to build a more inclusive and resilient future.

Strategic legal advice starts with a conversation
