Koen: “Working at Meines & Partners is like playing chess on a number of different boards; politics, business and the social ‘mid-field’ are areas where Meines & Partners is active. A superior strategy, sound knowledge of dossiers and the right intervention at the right time are all essential for the decisive move which can make or break a lobby.”
