Mirella Hartman

Attorney at law / partner / Mediator

‘I am passionate and practical. The human-interest and social aspects of this area of law appeal to me. But I also like the content-specific details. Digging, analysing and creative thinking, pushing the limits of the law: I have found this fascinating for over 30 years and I still enjoy it.’
