Els's background is in corporate law at one of the largest accountancy and consulting firms.

Els has wide-ranging experience with mergers and acquisitions, in international and national contexts, and with the structuring of companies, for example through joint ventures and (employee) participations. She also advises on succession in family businesses and in a broader corporate law sense on issues such as corporate governance and corporate (group) structure. Clients describe Els as committed, practical and skilful, without losing sight of commercial interests.

Els has a postgraduate degree in Mergers & Acquisitions and completed the Grotius specialist course in Company and Corporate Law and is a member and the chairman of the Dutch Corporate Finance Association (DCFA). Els regularly gives seminars on various issues relating to M&A.
