Assessment feedback on Dr. Ineke Koele:
She has a fertilizing mind, playing chess on several boards simultaneously, strategizing together with the client.
She is developing a suitable process, not a one size fits all approach, flexible, inventive, 'tool-erizing' the process of resolving cases.
She has a very good self-analysis, tools to deal with own mindset and emotions and empowering her clients, used as a tool to break impasse (coaching).
Systemic approach, using and working with the whole of factors, substance, psychology, interaction, actors, law, working around huge power imbalances and balancing these. Excellent ethics, used as a driver/ lens for actions.
Works with the other part and their lawyer as well as own client and experts (knowing how to use them optimally in the game)."

"Ineke did a very professional job in our family case. She is quick to understand, communicates very clearly and tackles the matter well thought out with perfect timing and efficiency. We have been very happy with the result achieved and can recommend Ineke to everyone."
- Citywealth Private Client Review 2021
"In a very complicated professional case, Ineke proved to possess a finely tuned blend of professional knowledge and empathy in order to reach the desired goals. Apart from her extensive expertise in the fiscal/legal aspects she knows how to slow down or accelerate in a professional process. As our case asked for highly delicate interaction with institutional and government agencies she showed she knows exactly how to play the game. An 'out of the box' approach combined with a thorough knowledge of the relevant fiscal and legal aspects makes her an excellent professional in her field in our view."

'Ineke Koele, is not only a highly skilled and respected tax professional with many years of (international) experience, but also an exceptional likable person with a remarkable eye for detail and negotiation processes. I’m lucky to have Ineke on our side for all important tax matters.'

"We do not, as a matter of general policy, extend reviews, either postively or negatively. In this case, given the resounding results achieved by Dr. Koele and the absolutely wonderful service received from her, we will break from policy to applaud her. Five stars are merited in all categories."

"I think she is very creative. She is, I think, able to be analytical and creative, and she is a people person," says a Dutch market insider, adding: "As a lawyer, she just focuses on the client's interests and goes for it. I think she does a lot of complex international estate planning, a niche in which she is very successful. It requires a combination of expertise that few people have." Sources also praise Koele's work with non-profit organisations, with one commentator saying that she is "a particularly good practitioner in the charity field."

"A true professional who allows her client to truly speak out. Ineke is able to provide comfort in delicate and sensitive situations. She provides clear advice and explanations and is able to have a complete view on the situation from different perspectives. While providing her recommendations, Ineke stays focused, but is open to a different view from the client as well and is able to switch approaches during the process without any judgement. Clear communication skills and swift follow-up make her a very pleasant advisor to work with."

“Ineke Koele has the great gift of combining a profound knowledge, not only of Dutch law but also of the manner in which clients with an international profile can make cross border arrangements work effectively, with excellent communications skills, embracing both lay clients and lawyers from other jurisdictions. I have really enjoyed working with her on a project which combined civil and common law structures in the context of a mix of private interests and charitable/purpose trusts and foundations.”

"Ineke Koele's professional and planned approach ensured that the complex, international case she handled for me could be dealt with succcesfully.
