Mechteld van Veen-Oudenaarden

‘Passion as Fuel, Success as Destination’

An entrepreneur facing severe financial distress isn’t looking for unnecessary complications. In such situations, clarity and swift action are essential. Mechteld van Veen-Oudenaarden is exceptionally qualified to assist in these cases. With years of experience, she is known for her no-nonsense attitude and hands-on approach—a style she has maintained since her early days as a lawyer in Rotterdam, where she specialised in insolvency law as well as maritime law. Mechteld quickly fathoms problems and finds both legal and practical solutions, skills that are indispensable in her insolvency and bankruptcy practice, which she has continually refined.

Insolvency law is her passion, and she pours her heart and soul into her role as a trustee. She also advises companies on debt restructuring, debt collection, and issues related to financing and security. Moreover, she is experienced in corporate and contract law, including matters of corporate governance and directors’ liability.

In addition to her extensive expertise, Mechteld is known for her client-focused and solution-oriented approach. She is relentless in her efforts for her clients, leaving no stone unturned to uncover the truth. She quickly gets to the heart of the matter and communicates without any unnecessary jargon. Successfully resolving a bankruptcy and achieving client satisfaction are Mechteld’s greatest rewards.

What sets GMW apart in her view? The broad expertise available to clients, the excellent work-life balance for staff, and the pillars of enjoyment, challenge, and teamwork. It’s no surprise that Mechteld has felt so at home at the firm since 2006.
