Marxman Preferred Legal Partner of SV Kampong Hockey
At Marxman, we love top-level sports – because we know: running a business is much like competing at the highest level in sport. All our employees are – all in their own way – top athletes. And we also literally have a few top athletes in our ranks. What we also love at Marxman are partnerships. Long-term collaborations that allow us to keep learning from each other. Doing business, having fun, and both parties benefiting from it.
That is why we officially signed the partnership with SV Kampong Hockey on 1 June 2021.
We are always looking for partners who operate in line with our core values. With Kampong’s (top) hockey players, we share a lot of those values:
Passion
Really enjoying what you do and giving it your 100%.
Team spirit – collaborating
Only when we combine our individual strengths can we achieve the best results.
High performance – perseverance
The final result is what matters most. Winning the match or winning the case. And not giving up when the going gets tough: change the tactics and carry on!
Talent development
Keep growing – as an organisation, as a team and as a person. Making your strengths even stronger. Knowledge and skills.
Stronger together
For us, a partnership means that we both benefit from it. We help Kampong become more professional in the legal field and, of course, we also provide some funding for the club. We also simply want to learn a lot from each other. In terms of both sport and doing business.
