Focused on client needs, proactive, analytical and hands-on, that is Monique at work. She is most in her element when she can analyze brand portfolios and advise strategically and offer creative solutions. Monique also likes to visit her clients, always curious about the products and the day-to-day operations of the companies she advises.<\/span><\/p>

30 years in the profession and still enthusiastic! What she finds most enjoyable about the profession is the diversity of clients and their products or services and the different approaches to IP protection that come with them. <\/span><\/p>

She worked for many years, among others, for the market leader in the Netherlands as a senior consultant and managing partner, and assisted a variety of clients in her career, ranging from start-ups to large multinationals. She therefore has extensive experience in various sectors including banking, medical, technology, tourism, media and communications, and mobility. She has also taught many junior attorneys the ins and outs of the profession.<\/span><\/p>

Monique is a recognized Benelux and European trademark attorney and an active member of various professional organizations, such as BMM, ECTA, Marques, and INTA. She is the chair of the BMM Dutch Event Committee, which annually organizes two webinars and a live event for the (Dutch) BMM members. In addition, she is a member of the Internet Committee of the European professional association ECTA and has previously also been part of the ECTA Harmonization Committee and the EUIPO Link Committee, where she held annual consultations with the board of the European Trademark Office (EUIPO) regarding the Office\u2019s strategic plans.<\/span><\/p>

Monique enjoys travelling and active holidays with her partner and her two (now adult) children. Furthermore, she loves sports and can often be found on the padel court.<\/span><\/p>

The authoritative journal World Trademark Review (WTR1000) highlights Monique as follows:<\/span><\/p>

\u201cMonique is praised for her practical, to-the-point counsel and creative problem-solving, all of which have earned her the trust of clients across industries<\/i>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
