Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaarten Zeinstra is an information lawyer and technophile who for 11+ years has helped public sector institutions unlock access to knowledge, culture and technology through pragmatic policy and legal design. As owner of IP Squared and initiator of LawFlow.org, he translates complex copyright and licensing questions into usable frameworks and flowcharts that bridge legal theory and technical implementation. His background—LL.M. in Intellectual Property, an MSc in Philosophy of Technology and an early career in software development—lets him fluently navigate legal, technical and cultural heritage contexts. He chairs Open Nederland, coordinates copyright work for KVAN, and advises Creative Commons Netherlands, demonstrating sustained leadership in open advocacy. Not obviously, he combines hands-on tooling experience with policy work—evaluating C2PA implementations and guiding authenticity efforts at Media Perspectives—so his advice is as operational as it is strategic.
