mr. Adriaan de Gier
Business conflicts and complex claims
Owner of De Gier | Conflict Solutions. Adriaan de Gier has extensive experience handling conflicts, claims and liabilities. Both in business environments and in claims situations. A particular specialty is relationships in private equity situations and in family businesses. That experience has been gained as a lawyer, but also as a business mediator (Mfn mediator), commissioner/supervisor (CBM) and investor/entrepreneur. Adriaan de Gier is able to steer radical conflicts in the right direction, where possible by connecting, but where necessary with a firm approach. And often both, because most issues at different times require both approaches.
