Banking & Finance

Law Firm in the Netherlands specialised in Banking & Finance

Latest

Our Banking & Finance practice is one of the largest in Europe. Our expertise covers the entire spectrum of Transactional Banking, Restructuring & Insolvency, and Financial Services (regulated markets). We operate in both local and international situations. We provide a tailor-made approach, giving your commercial interests just as much attention as the legal ones. Lawyers who have been working together (internationally) for decades and therefore have proven experience in every conceivable situation give you an unparalleled advantage.

Whether you are a bank or an corporation with financing needs, a company in financial distress or have a business partner that is on the brink of collapse, a financial services provider or an entity operating in a regulated market, an investment fund or a public sector organisation, addressing and leveraging your challenges is our highest priority.

Our areas of legal expertise within Banking & Finance

Within the Banking & Finance group, we specialise in advising on local rules, but also on issues involving multiple jurisdictions. We will put together a team that fits your situation perfectly. You can call on teams that focus on specific sectors, such as the energy group, the hotel group, the infrastructure group, and the life sciences group.

What you can expect from us: experience and knowledge, combined with thorough project management. We guide you from start to finish. In our advice, we take into account changing regulations, innovative developments, and market trends. In short, sustainable advice that enables you to make the right decisions. For now and in the future.
