Petra klein Gunnewiek has been working as a lawyer at VBK in the Liability & Insurance and Healthcare & Social domain teams since 2011. As of 1 January 2016, Petra has led the Liability & Insurance team. She has been a partner since January 2018.

Petra has been practising liability & insurance law and health since 2005. After being sworn in as a lawyer, she worked for two niche firms in the field of personal injury and employment law.

What distinguishes Petra as a lawyer is that she tries to answer the legal questions that are put to her in a creative, yet practical manner. Petra feels very comfortable in litigation practice and sees all proceedings – be it petition-initiated proceedings, a partial dispute or proceedings on the merits – as a challenge to achieve a good result.

In addition to medical liability, employer liability has Petra's special attention. Petra also advises and litigates in the field of traffic liability, qualitative liability and product liability. Petra does not shy away from disputes about the magnitude of a loss (and in particular causality). Petra also specialises in insurance law issues.
