Lindenbaum is a proud partner of Bridges Network

By Damiën Berkhout

Lindenbaum is proud to be a partner of Bridges Network.

Bridges network sets itself the target to bridge the gap between law students with a multicultural background and commercial law firms, notaries and fiscal firms. This all with the objective to enhance diversity and inclusivity within commercial law practice.

The network does this by:

  • providing multicultural students with information about commercial law practice;
  • providing multicultural students with a network; and
  • in this context entering into partnerships with Universities, student associations as well as commercial law firms.

Our managing partner has joined Bridges Network as a peer. Students with a multicultural background can contact him via email (dberkhout@lindenbaum.nl) or LinkedIn if they want to learn more about commercial law firms.
