More about Roman

Attention, you are about to start reading a section where lawyers usually brag about their education, clients and multi-million dollar deals. Here is my account.

My passion is to help entrepreneurs trying to make the world a better place with navigating the legal challenges they face along the way. This has translated into our firm’s focus on emerging technologies and investment deals. As such, we love working with startups and early-stage investors, but also with corporations and governments embracing the winds of change.

I graduated from law school with honors and received a business degree from a leading Dutch university. No less valuable were short online courses on game theory and computer science that I accidentally completed in between.

When not practicing law and reading about tech, I enjoy snowboarding and surfing.

  • Counsel to one of the largest Dutch shipbuilding companies in several joint ventures and asset deals in Russia.
  • Counsel to an ICO issuer in an investigation by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
  • Represent investors in early-stage investment deals in Russia and abroad.
