ilona Verburg

After studying Dutch Law at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, I started my career as a lawyer in the district of Amsterdam. After a few years as a litigator, I started working as a corporate lawyer at Teva Pharmaceuticals Europe in Mijdrecht. Here I advised clients about corporate matters and was responsible for drafting and negotiating various types of commercial contracts. I also contributed to setting up the legal department of Teva in Europe.

I thoroughly enjoyed working at Teva, but left the company when I relocated to the south of the Netherlands, as I was offered a position at DSM in South Limburg. I worked as a lawyer at DSM Dyneema for several years after which I was put in charge of the legal affairs department of DSM Sourcing. After twelve years of experience in various legal positions at international companies,

I founded VERBURG LEGAL. This allows me to focus purely on legal work in various environments. I’m well-versed in the dynamic sectors of pharmaceuticals and chemicals, but I also provide services to companies in other sectors as an independent lawyer.

I use the combination of my experience as a litigator and corporate lawyer to support clients in various areas in the role of connector or as a strong negotiator. Due to my extensive and varied background I am able to efficiently navigate the legal field and can refer you to other specialists when necessary.
