What really makes our corporate practice truly stand out from other law firms is the integrated tax and civil law approach that we take, which no other firm in our home market, the Benelux, can match. Our mainly multinational and private equity client base relies on our hands-on, pragmatic and no-nonsense style.
Our clients appreciate that our corporate team closely involves specialists from adjacent areas such as tax, capital markets, litigation, banking, IP, employment and environmental law. This enables our corporate team - consisting of 35 partners and about 180 associates - to create innovative solutions for our clients who are either based in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg or doing business there. Several team members have specialised in areas such as real estate, energy and private equity. As for international transactions, we work closely and non-exclusively with leading independent firms throughout the world.
