AI & Algorithmic Liability
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is frequently being used in society in various ways to help monitor events, make decisions and execute tasks.
FDI & M&A
In Tech globally, FDI screening – in addition to competition screening – increasingly determines the feasibility of transactions. Foreign direct investment (FDI) screening has been rapidly introduced and made more stringent, especially in Western countries like the Netherlands that previously had no such screening mechanism in place.
Financial Regulatory & Technology
Technology has changed the financial sector, including the previously existing license requirements and prohibitions for banking, intermediation, consumer credit and insurance. Instead, digital activities such as payment and crypto processing services have also been brought under licensing requirements, even when the cash equivalent was (or is) allowed.
FinTech
The financial markets are changing faster than ever before, due to large- scale disruptive innovations like Blockchain, cryptocurrencies and AI solutions as well as numerous start-ups.
Privacy & Data Protection
The increasing use of personal data by companies, governments and institutions has led to a data protection legal framework that is in continuous development. Almost every organisation processes personal data, such as information on employees, business contacts, patients or customers.
Tax & Technology
Technology is not only disrupting the business world but also the tax space.
Software Deals
M&A is an efficient way for companies to gain access to new software solutions and assets, including skilled and specialised people. We view a successful M&A software deal as one where the strategic options have been considered, a healthy risk-profile has been completed, and most importantly, where value has been created over time.
