Contracts and civil disputes often involve more than just the legal basis. Gentia focuses on situations in which timing, structure and well-considered choices are decisive for the course of a case. With incisive analysis and a forward-looking approach, she provides support in making decisions that stand the test of time.
Gentia’s added value is particularly evident in situations where clarity is needed. For example, when agreements come under pressure or it is not immediately clear which next step is most appropriate. In such situations, she brings structure to the process, compares different scenarios and explores where there is scope for a solution.
Gentia: ‘The choice between a strategic solution and legal proceedings is carefully weighed up on a case-by-case basis.’
Gentia advises on contractual relationships during the preliminary phase and assists clients in negotiations and legal proceedings. Her practice focuses primarily on contract and litigation law.

At LVH Advocaten, Gentia is the designated point of contact for aviation matters and leads the aviation team.

Right to compensation Regulation 261/2004 in case of multiple flight delay circumstances?
Airlines are subjected daily to various circumstances that may lead to a delay or cancellation of the scheduled flight. However, such disruption does not always lead to the obligation to pay compensation to passengers. In case of extraordinary circumstances that could not have been avoided even by taking all reasonable measures, no compensation is due.
