About us

We are CMS, one of the biggest law firms in the world, with more than 70 offices in over 40 countries. We combine in-depth knowledge of the Dutch market, which we have been serving for over a century, with a global network and perspective

Excellence calls for specialisation, which is why we choose to focus on complex briefs in sectors including real estate. Above all, we specialise in you, in our clients. We know your market, the arena in which you operate. We are proactive, a useful sparring partner and a dependable resource at crucial moments.

Our knowledge is extensive, and that includes knowing what we don't know. Like you, we don't know what tomorrow will bring. To lead is to look ahead, but the view is often restricted. So we’ll work with you to get to grips with possible changes to legislation and regulations, future developments in your markets and its impact. Where are opportunities likely to arise, which threats are lurking, what can we already anticipate now?

Those who are prepared for an uncertain future can look forward to that future with more confidence. Our aim is to be lawyers, notaries and tax consultants who think ahead.
