Gerdien re-joined Banning in August 2022 as a legal secretary, where she supports the lawyers within the Corporate Law/Insolvency Law section.
In 1999, Gerdien started as a legal secretary at a law firm in Dordrecht and also followed and successfully completed a training course to become a legal secretary. In 2009 she switched to Banning and worked there as a legal secretary within the Employment Law department until early 2015. Gerdien moved abroad in 2015 and lived in Aruba for almost seven years. There she worked as a legal secretary and office manager at two tax consultancy firms. This gives her a very broad international work experience, both in legal and tax areas.
