Vincent is an experienced litigator with a focus on professional liability of professional services providers. Vincent is, according to his clients, an ‘excellent litigator’ who works ‘remarkably efficiently’.

Vincent has an extensive litigation practice. The focus is on liability law, insurance law and real estate. The professional liability of professional service providers has a prominent place. Vincent works on behalf of insurers and their insureds. This usually involves assisting notaries, lawyers, architects, estate agents and tax advisers. In addition, Vincent works for property developers and (real estate) investors. The emphasis is on litigation, both civil and disciplinary. Every year, this involves dozens of cases, which are often brought to a successful conclusion. That can also mean settling to avoid worse. Vincent is fully transparent about this in advance.
