Robert Gebel

Robert joined Holla in 2015 as a partner in our Real Estate & Government practice group and has been Managing Partner since 1 May 2019. With more than 22 years of experience as a lawyer, he has built a strong track record in commercial real estate and civil construction law. Over the years, he has advised on a wide range of real estate projects, both in the Netherlands and abroad, including the construction of the European Investment Bank in Luxembourg. His clients include project developers, housing corporations, investors, construction companies, and local as well as regional government bodies.

To close a rock-solid deal: that is what matters most, according to Robert. Colleagues describe him as a true deal maker: he is result-oriented and will not lose sight of the interests of all parties involved. He prefers to settle problems outside of the courtroom, but with his extensive experience in litigation he is also able protect his clients’ interests fully in court.

And even outside of his daily practice, Robert does not leave a stone unturned: he is fascinated by buildings. He keeps up to date with and reads extensively about architectural projects. He has profound respect for the creativity and guts that were needed to complete iconic construction projects such as the Pantheon in Rome or the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
