Press release – Willemijn Putz joins Caland
Caland Advocaten is pleased to announce that as per February 1, Willemijn Putz will join our firm, bringing with her a valuable record of legal expertise and international experience in the maritime industry.
“I am excited to join Caland Advocaten at this stage in my career,” said Willemijn Putz. “I look forward to contributing to the firm’s growth and working closely with clients to deliver pragmatic, high-impact legal solutions.”
Her appointment follows the addition of Marieke van den Dool and Ynke Ooijkaas last year, who brought with them extensive experience in inland shipping and ship building; in particular yacht construction, enabling Caland to provide an even more complete offering.
The expansion enables Caland to invest even more time and energy in building client relationships by organizing information sessions, publishing in professional journals, and providing industry-wide support.
The new team, which also include as partners Richard van ‘t Zelfde, Jitteke Blussé Van Oud Alblas, Flip van Huizen and Cherry Almeida, embodies the spirit of modern professionals: engaged, legally astute, digitally skilled, diverse, and passionate about their work.
Caland invites media and partners to meet its strengthened team, ready to tackle the most complex challenges in the maritime and transport sectors.
