Jeroen Douwes is the Executive Director of L&E Global: the alliance of employers’ counsel worldwide, of which Palthe Oberman is one of the memberfirms. Jeroen has an MBA and more than twenty years of professional experience across a variety of sectors (legal, financial, hospitality, etc.) and has developed a wide-range of skills, including strategic management, change management, business development, innovative strategies and resources, financial management and analyses, valuation, branding, marketing, business optimization, upselling and cross selling, to name a few.

“I am passionate about service and service is the leitmotiv of my career,” said Jeroen Douwes. “Whether in the hospitality or financial industries, or law firms, I focus on the client and I strive to meet their needs. I believe that delivering added value and creating a mutual understanding between clients and service providers, will lead to sustainable business and mutual growth and success. L&E Global is the embodiment of this strategy, which is one of the many reasons I am delighted to be part of the alliance. I have followed L&E Global over the past few years. I have watched this small network of boutiques in six countries, grow to be a global alliance of firms, with members and affiliates that handle the full range of employment law matters for employers that operate in the most important economic and legal jurisdictions in the world.”
