Joost is an intelligent thinking lawyer who has supported Blonk for years with very high-quality and to the point legal advice on data, software and other business agreements. In doing so, he is very service-oriented and a very pleasant person to work with.

Hans Blonk | Managing Director

Our institute likes to make use of Joost’s legal analyses on emerging technological developments: he thinks about new legal issues raised by these technologies. Joost is quick, thorough and reliable, which is why we enjoy working with him.

Linda Kool | Theme coordinator on Digitalisation

Joost helps us provide advice on ICT law in an accessible way. A lot is happening around our digital signature solution in the areas of GDPR, privacy and security. Joost keeps us proactively informed of developments. Our collaboration is very pleasant.

Erik van Doorn | Marketing Manager

Joost Gerritsen is a pioneer in the discourse on data and AI legislation. He is actively involved in public debate, committed to education and focused on enabling compliance.

Joost denkt op strategisch niveau mee met zijn cliënt en volgt de actualiteit van zijn vakgebied op de voet.

Maartje Meuwissen | Information products programme manager

Joost/Legal Beetle always thinks along and comes up with appropriate solutions. Very nice working together and gives confidence that legal issues and contracts between our small company and larger parties are covered correctly.

Tom Smit | Head of Product Development and Sales

As a property manager, we want to handle personal data with extreme care. Especially those of our residents. Joost makes this possible. He helps us with GDPR contracts and gives privacy advice. He does this well; a client complimented us on the quality of his processing agreement!

Matthias van Klaveren | Operational manager

I got to know Joost as a very knowledgeable lawyer in the field of GDPR and privacy during my work at the PO-Raad. In my current position as sector director of Education, Quality and Innovation at SCOH, we also regularly encounter, for us, complex GDPR and privacy issues here. I can trust Joost to answer our questions, which often have to be answered under time pressure, quickly and with knowledge and expertise. The exploration of the issue is thorough and the answer is always in understandable language and from a practical point of view how to act as an organisation. This practical and hands-on approach really helps us move forward in doing our job well.

Jessica Teunissen | Sector director Education, Quality and Innovation

Joost thinks with us, for example when we want to gain more insight into new laws: Open Government Act, Open Data Legislation, the Data Governance Act (DGA) and the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act). This proved very useful for our CIO Office.
