New head of AKD’s Rotterdam office

Teije van Dijk is appointed to the position of head of the legal firm’s Rotterdam office, effective as of 1 December 2009.

Rotterdam, 1 December 2009: The Board of AKD Prinsen Van Wijmen (AKD) has appointed mr. T.B. (Teije) van Dijk to the position of head of the legal firm's Rotterdam office, effective as of 1 December 2009. He takes over from mr. G.P.F (Peter) Vollebregt who, after several years of successfully leading the office, is to take up another position within the company.

Teije van Dijk leads AKD's Commercial Property section in Rotterdam. His involvement in property development covers public-private partnerships, construction disputes and contract tender law.

Bert Heikens, Chairman of the Board of AKD comments, "A commercially-minded man like Teije van Dijk is the ideal person to further expand AKD's position in the Rotterdam region. Immediately as he takes on responsibility for our location in Rotterdam, Teije is being confronted with his first challenge. Namely, the relocation of AKD Rotterdam to the Maastoren at the beginning of 2010. Topping out at 165 metres, it is the tallest building in the Netherlands."
