Jan Mortel
Edit ProfileEducation
Mortel studied at Leyden University, where his education is recorded for 1984. Leiden University was founded on 8 February 1575 by William of Orange as a Protestant institution, and it is the oldest surviving university in the Netherlands. By the late 1980s it was officially named Rijksuniversiteit Leiden, meaning State University of Leiden.
His admission to the Amsterdam bar in 1985 shows that his legal career was based in Amsterdam from that year.
Career
Mortel was admitted to the bar in Amsterdam in 1985. He later worked as a partner at Stibbe, Blaisse & De Jong, an Amsterdam law firm. Stibbe began as a firm in Amsterdam in 1911, and in 1991 the Amsterdam firm Stibbe, Blaisse & De Jong merged with Simont & Simont in Brussels to form Stibbe & Simont, one of the most prominent law firms in the Benelux.
After merging with the Paris-based Monahan & Duhot in 1993, the firm was renamed Stibbe Simont Monahan Duhot, and later became known simply as Stibbe. Today it has main offices in Amsterdam, Brussels and Luxembourg, with a branch office in London.
