Your teacher
Joyce Boonstra
Voormalig advocaat, Legal Tech Expert & Trainer
Joyce combines two things that rarely go together: a legal background with in-depth technical knowledge of AI. She was one of the first lawyers in the Netherlands to structurally integrate language models into her daily practice. Not as an experiment, but as a working method.
While others were still waiting, Joyce was testing. She knows the possibilities and pitfalls of various tools firsthand. Not from theory, but from hours of practical experience.
That combination makes her training sessions different. No slides full of promises, but concrete applications. No hype, but nuance. And always the question: does this work for your practice?
