Good agreements form the basis of any successful collaboration. We help companies draft, execute and terminate (international) commercial contracts so that ambitions and understandings are in balance. For all forms of commercial collaboration – from purchasing and sales contracts to distribution, franchising, agency, logistics and services – we provide clear, workable contracts and a sustainable relationship.

Entrepreneurship is about growth, collaboration, innovation, and structuring. Our Corporate/M&A team guides entrepreneurs and investors through every step of that process. We ensure that transactions are not only legally sound but also contribute strategically to your next phase of growth.

Entrepreneurship involves making choices that directly affect your people and your organisation. Employment law in the Netherlands is complex, unique and constantly changing. Our team supports HR managers and business partners, directors and entrepreneurs in a wide range of employment law issues. From drafting contracts and individual dismissal files to guiding complex reorganisations and acquisitions. We also stand by your side in legal proceedings to provide guidance and achieve the best possible outcome.

Sooner or later, every company will face financing issues and financial risks. From setting up internal collateral and structures to dealing with liquidity pressure, loss of financing or internal debts within a group: timely and well-considered action makes the difference between recovery and loss. Our team is therefore not only called in when things get tense, but also at the outset: when setting up, reviewing and securely establishing structures.

Innovation and creativity form the foundation of many businesses. Brands, designs, technologies and content represent direct business value. Our Intellectual Property team helps businesses protect, strengthen and capitalise on this value, both nationally and internationally. We advise on the protection and exploitation of trademarks, designs, copyrights and trade names, and take action in cases of infringement, conflicts and misuse. In addition, we assist companies with the strategic use of their intellectual property, for example in investments, acquisitions or licensing arrangements.

Digitalisation is the driving force behind modern business operations, but it also presents complex legal challenges. Whether it concerns software development, data exchange or AI applications, our IT & Privacy specialists help organisations operate responsibly, securely and compliantly in an ever-changing digital environment.

Conflicts are sometimes unavoidable. When interests are significant or agreements are under pressure, legal proceedings are sometimes the only option. Our Litigation & Arbitration team helps entrepreneurs to act quickly and strategically. We analyse the facts, determine the right course of action and choose the most effective form of dispute resolution.

Sooner or later, entrepreneurs come into contact with the government – in relation to spatial planning, permits, tenders or real estate projects. This requires an understanding of legislation and regulations, but above all a feel for administrative relationships and the right strategic tone. Our Government & Real Estate team helps entrepreneurs, developers and governments to make plans possible rather than delay them.
