Wanda
van Kerkvoorden

Partner

Wanda is one of the founders of SOLV and a pioneer in the field of IT/IP & privacy law. Additionally, she is an MfN-registered mediator. In her practice, she combines her passion for technology with a keen eye for the human factor and an in-depth knowledge of the law.

In addition to her work as a lawyer, Wanda is an entrepreneur and a professional supervisor. She serves as the chair of the Supervisory Board of Heliomare and is a member of the Supervisory Board of BumaStemra. These roles have provided her with sharp insights into boardroom dynamics, which she incorporates into her advisory work with businesses and organizations.

Wanda offers advice and litigation services in the areas of software compliance, licensing, outsourcing, cloud sourcing, and innovative developments like AI. She collaborates with her clients preferably from the concept phase to ensure that privacy and security are integrally and correctly incorporated into processes, rather than merely being items on a checklist. Her peers in the field regard her as one of the leading experts in IT & privacy law, while clients appreciate her sharp focus and solution-oriented approach.

She also applies this solution-oriented approach in her role as a mediator. While litigation is sometimes unavoidable, Wanda believes that true, sustainable solutions that address all aspects involved can only be achieved collaboratively by the parties with the assistance of a conversation facilitator.
