Josée van de Laar
Former mediator, attorney at law and partner
‘Since 2003 I have evolved from an attorney into a full-time mediator. I get a kick out of bringing parties to the point where they get better insight into the implications of a victim’s injuries, which frequently results in a “case” being settled definitively. I encourage people to go on with their lives with renewed energy.’
