Josée Weydert, managing partner of NautaDutilh Avocats Luxembourg: "Insurance is an important sector in Luxembourg, which is growing even more due to Brexit. Since the UK voted to leave the European Union, a number of insurance companies have already transferred their European activities to Luxembourg. Miryam will work closely with all our departments and help us further extend the range of services we offer our clients in Luxembourg and abroad. She will undoubtedly be a huge asset to the firm. We believe that her background is ideally suited to develop our new insurance and reinsurance capabilities, ensuring that NautaDutilh remains at the forefront of developments in the industry."
