Very positive!
As an organisation, we contracted SPEE advocaten & mediation to test our way of working in the Netherlands for achievability, as we are a foreign company and do business abroad it goes without saying that it might need to be changed in the Netherlands. Martine van Krieken-Boersma did an excellent job. We are extremely grateful to her and can warmly recommend SPEE advocaten & mediation.

Pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable.
I got good help with a non-standard question.
Private individual, August 2022
Very satisfied.
Advice on pros and cons is given in a pleasant but businesslike manner. As a client, you are part of the team that handles the case and together we think about strategy, working method and planning.
Private individual, August 2022
To the point and quick.
Monique Spee has helped me tremendously, was very quick in her feedback and is an expert in her trade like no other!
Private individual, July 2022
Professionally precise; inoffensively objective; listen, mind, and base opinions only on fact
It was a long and complicate case presented, on both the structure and the content, with very much twisted information. Pretty annoying when trying to understand in limited time. I knew SPEE only by a case I ever read about. While not actually knowing each other, SPEE managed to calmly read through the scenarios from the conversation, solve the puzzle based on the documents presented, and independently give the unbiased opinion. I regret a lot (absolutely as compliments!) for not allowed to have SPEE as advocaat as I wished after the independent opinion. In any scenario I will give SPEE my recommendation.
Interest group, July 2022
Expert advice combined with a personal approach.
Expert and clear advice, plus a listening (and analytical) ear. They get straight to the point, which ultimately led to the prevention of a lawsuit. Needless to say that we are very satisfied with both the approach and the result!
Interest group, July 2022
Sound legal knowledge combined with great commitment leads to appropriate advice.
As a layman in the legal field, it is initially frightening when you are confronted with legal actions. Especially the consequences are frightening. However, the level-headed and clear view of Monique Spee of SPEE lawyers & mediation took away the uncertainty and brought nuance to the overwhelming legal correspondence from the other party. What particularly struck us was the very high level of involvement and the effort taken to translate legal language and actions into understandable language for us.
Company, May 2022
Very happy! I am very satisfied with the way I was assisted in a legal proceeding that was nothing but harassment by the other party.
Private individual, May 2022
Skilled, thoughtful and compassionate.

Company, March 2022
Excellent advice and quick and decisive action.
SPEE advocaten & mediation have assisted us with excellent legal advice in an employment conflict. On the basis of that advice, SPEE advocaten & mediation have guided us carefully and resolutely through the conclusion process. Short lines of communication, perfect follow-up and very tight and convincing communication with the opposite party. Legal support provided entirely to our wishes, please don’t change a thing!
Company, February 2022
Fast settlement of the termination of an employment contract: thanks to the advice and assistance of SPEE advocaten & mediation, we have been able to terminate a fixed-term employment contract prematurely in a proper and correct manner by means of a VSO.

Great lawyer! Professional and to the point.
Party to a business mediation, December 2021
I would like to thank the mediator once again for the good support, from the first moment it felt right. This was the first time I went into mediation and hopefully the only time, although I never had a bad feeling before, during or after the mediation sessions. I am truly grateful that I chose Monique Spee. The picture on the website and the story underneath immediately gave me a good feeling, she radiates calm and confidence. During the mediation she is decisive, to the point, but all this from love; this is how I felt and experienced it. Without the mediation and her guidance, I would never have had the chance to reintegrate according to the rules of the law. It hasn't all gone well, but at the same time I have learned beautiful life lessons from it. I had lost confidence in myself for a while and that confidence came back during the mediation and that is partly due to what Monique radiates and conveys. She is a beautiful and sweet person, with her heart in the right place, sincere, honest, with a portion of curiosity that is important to reach solutions and with attention to the emotions of both parties, without judging them. A completely unique, and I suspect special, way of mediation. There is always respect for both parties and what I like best is that she masters the art of turning negative into positive. The fact that she discusses what someone experiences as negative, but does not refer to it as such later on: as far as I am concerned, that is her strength. I hope that one day I may meet her under different circumstances, she is a source of inspiration. I suspect that this is not the "standard" way of working for a mediator and I am therefore extremely grateful that I ended up at SPEE advocaten & mediation when I was looking for a mediator.
Party to a business mediation, December 2021
Fine way of working. The mediator took her role well and kept the overview. The mediator did not get carried away. Skilled and above all sufficiently assertive. Therefore insensitive to manipulations.

Martine van Krieken helped me along all the process of negotiations with my employer, in a constructive and effective manner.
Private individual, September 2021
A big nine. A regrettable purchase of a product with major consequences. Fast action and follow-up made a good start. After the first letter and some waiting (as it should be) more important information came to light. After weighing the pros and cons for a while, we consulted Mrs. Van Krieken again. After weighing up the costs and benefits, we decided to close the case, but were well advised and supported.
company, september 2021
Driven and adequate. Monique Spee is our regular lawyer. That says it all. If we have a problem or if something happens, we immediately go to SPEE. They know where the bottlenecks are with an honest look at both the case and the bottom line. They know what needs to be done!

I was reassured by the genuine commitment. The first time we spoke, I could tell my case was in good hands. Knowing that somebody genuinely cares puts you at ease and gives you confidence. I have little experience of litigation and/or negotiations, but because they always kept me in the loop, I always knew what was going on. I would recommend SPEE advocaten & mediation to anyone, and would like to thank them again for their great service.

Private individual, October 2019
Expert, committed, and focused on the objective. Unfortunately, a divorce meant I had to use the services of a law firm. Having had very positive experiences of SPEE advocaten & mediation in the past, when dealing with contracts and purchases, I turned to them on this occasion. Of course a divorce is not the same thing as a contract, which is why I had a chat with them first, to decide whether they offered the personal touch I needed, and the right approach. Based on this, I entrusted this case to SPEE advocaten & mediation. During the process, I found that they were not only professional, but also prioritized my feelings and personal interests. Of course I would rather not need a law firm in the first place. But I was very impressed with the interactive process, their understanding of the specifics, and their human touch.
