Phaedra De mild
Legal counsel
Pragmatic and solution-focused legal counsel with more than 20 years of experience in and passion for civil contract law, civil
construction law, public procurement law, company law (new)… and business life, a great mix! My knowledge and experience in
different areas of law perfectly reflect my interest in everything that lives, grows and moves in the business world. I get my
energy from: the variety in work, critical thinking, identifying solutions, a good collaboration, (all) together realizing common
goals (the whole is greater than the sum of its parts). I’d like to create, by way of a good connection and being authentic, an
added value for the company while focusing on common values and standards.
