Marcel Willems
Marcel Willems studied law at the Universities of Nijmegen,
Leiden, Berlin and Osnabrück (Germany). He has been an attorney
since 1988 and one of the co-founders of Kennedy Van der
Laan. Since 1992 he has focused his practice on corporate and
commercial litigation, insolvency law, financial security,
financial restructurings and (re)financing schemes and directors
and officers liability. He acts for several banks, particularly in
the areas of security rights and insolvency. Also, he regularly
advises on complex financings.
He is author and co-author of a number of publications on
insolvency law and he frequently publishes articles on
corporate law, litigation and insolvency.
Marcel draws remarkable parallels between his legal work and his
hobby of gardening. In both he prunes away all that is unnecessary,
he digs deeply in the ground (facts and legal precedents) and
creatively designs, plants and organizes both his garden en his
legal documents to reach balanced and optimal results.
