Christine Visser

Christine Visser is partner at our firm and specialises in administrative and environmental law. She started working as an attorney at law in the field of administrative law in 2004, and has specialised since in environmental law and nature conservation.

Christine specialises in issues related to zoning plans and permit procedures for infrastructure projects, and business and residential housing developments. She is also inspired by the complexities of environmental and nature conservation law. At Ten Holter Noordam advocaten, Christine is part of the Building Industry market area where she applies her broad knowledge and experience of environmental law with great effect on behalf of (project) developers, housing corporations and investors who need assistance in getting complicated projects off the ground. She is capable of assisting these parties at all stages of the project. For example, she often negotiates with the authorities involved at a pre-project stage in order to obtain permits promptly and quickly, and, when things do not go as smoothly as hoped, she also regularly appears in court or before the Council of State if litigation proves to be necessary.
