Erik Vorst, Managing Partner at CMS in the Netherlands: “Our broad expertise and international network provide a rock‑solid foundation for supporting clients at the highest level in complex disputes and international tax matters. These lateral hires are the result of our strategic growth ambition. With the arrival of Menno and Maurits we have recruited two very well experienced and talented professionals who will each on their own field contribute to the further growth of CMS in the Netherlands.”

Keuper is an experienced litigation lawyer with more than ten years of experience in corporate and commercial litigation. He litigates on contractual disputes, post-M&A disputes, attachment and enforcement matters, and corporate governance, including in preliminary relief proceedings and cases before the Enterprise Chamber. 

Keuper on his move: “Disputes can be resolved in various ways. What is even better is to identify and manage new legal conflicts at an early stage. In my experience, it helps to take your work very seriously, but yourself not too much. This approach fits well with how CMS operates. I look forward to being part of the rapidly growing litigation practice and to contributing to its further expansion.”

Maurits advises investment funds and multinationals on international structures, mergers and acquisitions, private equity and real estate transactions, and corporate reorganisations.

Van Dijk on his move: “The combination of high-quality legal services with CMS's open and personal approach really appealed to me. I am very much looking forward to this new step and am keen to contribute to the further expansion of CMS's Tax practice group.”
