Dear relation,

It is with pride and a touch of melancholy that we announce that our colleague and partner Labour & Organisation, Eline Beekhuis, will be leaving Marxman Advocaten as of 1 October. After no less than 17 years of dedication, growth and cooperation, Eline is taking a beautiful step in her career as a corporate lawyer at Van Wijnen.

Eline began her career at Marxman as a student intern and is an inspiring example of someone who has taken every opportunity within our firm to develop professionally and personally. Her down-to-earth attitude, unrelenting commitment and the fact that she is always there for colleagues and clients make her an exceptional professional and a much-loved colleague.

We are grateful for all that Eline has meant to Marxman, our team and our relations. We will miss her, but we are especially proud of her new challenge and wish her every success in her new role.

Over the years, our Employment & Organisation team – of which Eline has been a member throughout – has demonstrated its expertise in situations relating to:

One of Eline’s personal successes was certainly her representation of an employee, which resulted in fair compensation of €475,000 (ECLI:NL:GHARL:2023:2818, Arnhem-Leeuwarden Court of Appeal, 200.317.206).

Van Wijnen is fortunate to welcome such a brilliant colleague. We warmly congratulate them on this valuable addition to their team. Within our Employment & Organisation team, Eline will be succeeded as team chair by Julie van Meeteren. Together with the rest of the team, she will ensure that our clients receive dedicated support.

On behalf of the whole Marxman team: thank you, Eline, and we wish you every success!
