Daniëlle Roelands-Fransen

Spatial planning law and planning and environmental law call for a pragmatic approach. This is just the kind of working method that characterises Daniëlle, who has become our number one specialist when it comes to complex spatial planning issues. Daniëlle frequently advises and litigates in large-scale and complex spatial projects, such as the transformation of inner-city (industrial) sites into residential/work areas, the realisation of high-rise projects and the construction and expansion of infrastructure: projects that are often politically sensitive and where various disciplines – administrative, legal and technical – interact. In addition, Daniëlle is regularly asked to contribute ideas regarding the system and content of rules in zoning plans, provincial regulations and other local rules. Her clients include Dutch provinces, municipalities, autonomous administrative authorities, companies and project developers. She enjoys sharing her expertise with others by publishing and by lecturing or being a keynote speaker at conferences. Daniëlle heads Pels Rijcken’s Planning and Environmental law team. Daniëlle received her master’s degree in Dutch Law from Radboud University Nijmegen and obtained an additional master's degree in European Law at the University of Nottingham. In addition to her work, she completed the Grotius Specialist programme in Spatial Planning and Environmental Law. At INSEAD she completed a mini-MBA. Previously, Daniëlle practised law at the Province of Noord-Brabant and later at Stibbe. She was admitted to the Dutch Bar in 2002 and joined Pels Rijcken in 2010. Daniëlle is permanent annotator for StAB, a journal on planning and environmental law case law.

Daniëlle Westerhoff

Daniëlle is a specialist in the Tax Law practice. She mainly advises clients on national tax law, focussing on clients in the semi-public and public law sector, such as educational institutions, healthcare facilities and governments. Within that context, Danielle focuses on the tax-law aspects of collaborations, mergers, demergers, acquisitions and internal reorganisations. Daniëlle frequently advises clients on value-added tax, company income tax, capital transfer tax and gift tax, which often touches on the consequences for the private individuals involved in respect of income and wage tax. Together with her public-law colleagues (attorneys as well as civil-law notaries), Daniëlle is capable of shedding light on both civil-law aspects and tax aspects, providing single, integral opinions and, if necessary, finding creative solutions while drawing on the various disciplines. Daniëlle also provides up-to-date knowledge on real estate tax issues. In that context she regularly publishes in the construction law journal Tijdschrift voor Bouwrecht.
