On your first day you have received a blue badge from HR which you can use to gain access to the office in Veghel, Amsterdam, and Antwerp.

As you have probably seen in the video about the Amsterdam office, it’s really easy to find your way, as there is only one stairs up to fourth floor. However, the Veghel office can feel a bit like a maze in the first days. This office consists of 3 buildings:·
- Zuidkade 6: this is where you find the main entrancewith reception, and the best coffee machine! Most of the lawyers andsecretaries have their offices here.·
- Zuidkade 5: this is the older building in between,here you can find the library and theatre. Most of the lawyers and secretarieshave their offices here.·
- Zuidkade 4: in this building you can find the departments Bierens Collections, HR, Finance, Marketing & Sales, and the Project team. You can also find the diner, gameroom and gym here!
To go from Zuidkade 5 and 6 to Zuidkade 4, you will have to walk through the old Bierens office and the Batcave!

We believe in the importance of a diverse team because we believe it's crucial to our success. We strive for justice for our creditors by helping and guiding them. This can only be done by a group of people with different backgrounds, expertise, personalities, talents, ideas and opinions. We believe being inclusive is important because it fits our core values as a family firm of wanting to be a great place to work and really caring for each other. A place where people feel welcome and can be themselves. Inclusivity is crucial to our work environment and culture. So the answer to this question is: please just be yourself, and stay yourself. We are always happy with a fresh pair of eyes, and curious about your ideas and perspectives. Please feel free to share them.
