Berendina van Straalen is a certified mediator a.o. in copyright issues and has longstanding working experience as a researcher, translator, editor and manager of subsidiary rights within the publishing industry.
In the choices of her degrees. she consciously chooses for practical education as the translation from legal theory to hands-on work is very often cluttered and confusing.
She focuses on the practical approach to applying copyright law in permissions and licensing of content through third parties’ channels. Her work method and training have an eye to the requirements of the industry raising the questions and the individual who must do the work.
She sketches practical overviews of contractual arrangements highlighting, in a nutshell, the effects of business decisions from Open Access to paywall, from distribution to complex aggregated databases. Here experience in describing contract and permission workflows for big enterprises make that these sketches are applicable in contractual, business and digital workflows.
Businesswise, her analytical thinking and quality to compare business models have supported not only the workflow but also assured competitive effects and revenue growth. Thanks to her mediation skills she negotiates in a pleasant way respecting the needs of all partners involved.
