Alice van der Schee has been at Van Benthem & Keulen since 1990, working as a lawyer and partner in the Restructuring & Insolvency team. Since July 1, 2023, Alice has been a member of the Executive Board of Van Benthem & Keulen. Alice is often appointed as an administrator in moratoriums and as trustee and receiver in bankruptcies. These have included such high-profile bankruptcies as MC IJsselmeerziekenhuizen B.V., TCN Urop SE and Koops Furness N.V. In addition, Alice advises and assists entrepreneurs and their creditors in the context of composition procedures under the Dutch Court Approval of a Private Composition (Prevention of Insolvency) Act ("WHOA"). Furthermore, Alice specialises in assisting other trustees and receivers in conducting and coordinating extensive cause and lawfulness investigations in bankruptcies. She also handles liability proceedings (which can be complex) against directors, supervisory directors and auditors, in which she assists both the trustees/receivers and their counterparties. These include any disciplinary proceedings that may precede a liability claim. One of the qualities that set Alice apart as a lawyer is that she is bilingual. She is also a Rechtsanwältin in Germany. This allows her to guide her German clients through the Dutch legal system. At the same time, she is able to explain to Dutch entrepreneurs operating in Germany the differences between the two legal systems, while her knowledge of German culture allows her to offer appropriate solutions.
