Lars ten Wolde

After more than twenty years of experience as a lawyer, trustee, and corporate counsel in business law (including M&A and restructuring), Lars shifted his focus to what suits him best: guiding entrepreneurs from strategy to completion in the purchase and sale of their companies. At Diligence, he can optimally combine his legal expertise with a personal and practical approach.

Due to his broad background, Lars not only oversees the financial and strategic aspects of business acquisitions but also understands the complex legal and human sides of the process. He relieves entrepreneurs of all concerns, prepares negotiations thoroughly, and clearly coordinates strategy and negotiating room. His working method is discreet, pragmatic, and committed, based on trust and personal contact.

His years of experience in insolvency practice have given him sharp insight into various sectors: from retail and e-commerce to real estate, construction, and professional services. This allows him to quickly identify risks and opportunities and provide concrete advice. Because Lars can handle almost all legal aspects himself, he also ensures speed, clarity, and cost savings.

In addition, Lars guides entrepreneurs through business acquisitions following bankruptcy, the so-called ‘restart’. Thanks to his experience as a trustee, he knows this complex process from the inside out, making him pre-eminently suited to guide entrepreneurs quickly, effectively, and successfully through these types of acquisition trajectories.
