Dirk Lange
Koster
Dirk Lange is a specialist in corporate law, with a focus on shareholder disputes. He has always had a keen interest in companies and business operations. In the five years before joining Köster, Dirk worked for a niche firm that mainly focuses on corporate law. There he gained a great deal of experience in mergers and acquisitions, corporate litigation and commercial litigation.
He has also litigated extensively for the Enterprise Chamber. The Enterprise Chamber not only assesses a dispute between two parties, but also takes into account the interests of the company and other parties involved in the dispute. Dirk finds this complexity challenging and intellectually very interesting: “You operate in a completely different spectrum: strategy is of decisive importance. My experience allows me to understand the process and I can use it to the maximum in the interests of the client.”
Dirk Lange has been working at Köster since early 2017. During his studies in Private Law, he worked for various financial institutions. After graduating in 2009, he started as a lawyer and trustee. Until the end of 2016, he was affiliated with the De Breij Evers Boon firm. Dirk is a member of the Corporate Litigation Association and the Dutch Association for Procedural Law. In 2014, he completed the Grotius specialization course in Corporate and Business Law .

Supercharge Your Leadership for the Future Part 1

Supercharge Your Leadership for the Future Part 1
1:30p - 3:00p
Leadership and leading a firm are hard. It’s not only about working hard but about how you work and whether you let the fears and stress drive you. The most effective leaders know themselves – strengths and stressors. They are proactive about developing leadership acumen, including how to manage stress and fears about the future. Leading a firm is NOT the time to work harder; it’s the time to upgrade your personal leadership operating system so that your baseline thinking, even when under stress, is to be calm, reflective, objective, and effective. We want you energized when you think about leading your firm through upcoming opportunities and challenges.
If you want to confront challenges with more confidence and less stress, the program is a must for you and your up-and-coming leaders. Discover how you can lead, manage, and collaborate with more equanimity and efficacy by using your knowledge of leadership style and the corresponding leadership shadow to face opportunities and challenges with a clear head.
Learning objectives
• Learn your leadership style by take the complete Actualized Leader Profile (5 minutes) in May of 2025. You will learn your motive drivers, and corresponding strengths and weakness, while fortifying your confidence, performance, and renewal.
• Recognize your leadership style’s particular challenges and “shadow”, and be able to mitigate their effects, thereby strengthening your ability to lead, manage and collaborate. A person’s shadow is embedded in the subconscious, triggered by stress, and fueled by negative emotions such as fear, anger and jealousy. It’s when you are at your worst.
• Use strategies for remaining effective in the face of difficulties while developing greater resilience over the long term.
• Recognize and mitigates colleagues’ shadows to create a better culture, improving client service and retention.
