Linda Lips-Grootendorst was born in 1956.
Leyden University, known today as Leiden University, is one of the oldest universities in the Netherlands, founded in 1575. Her documented education there is linked to the Dutch civil-law notary profession, which differs from the general practice of law in that a notary prepares legal deeds and provides authenticated legal services.
In the Netherlands, a person who has completed notarial legal studies and works in a notary's office is called a candidate notary. The title does not mean the studies are unfinished; it means the person has not yet been appointed as a notary. Her qualification as a candidate civil-law notary is dated 1982.
Her documented professional role is as a partner at Resident Associates. Her career sits within the legal profession, and the dates and locations of this partnership are not established in the available sources.
