Expertises

Capital Markets

Whether you want to raise capital through equity, debt or alternative forms of financing, you need to thoroughly understand the sector and the legal ins and outs of domestic and international capital market regulations.

Corporate/M&A

Mergers and acquisitions are among the most transformative decisions a business can make – whether driven by ambitions for growth, entry into new markets, evolving industry dynamics or long-term investment objectives. These transactions demand clear insight and the ability to navigate legal and regulatory complexity across jurisdictions.

Private Equity

Houthoff advises private equity clients on transactions, acquisitions, financing and structuring. Our team offers strategic and legal support from entry to exit.

Insurance & Reinsurance

The insurance sector has been facing a series of major challenges for a number of years. Economies of scale are more vital than ever, so mergers and acquisitions are the order of the day. This is combined with intensifying regulation and pressure on premiums. The corporate market is having to manage increasingly complex products and rising claim costs.

Financial Services

The financial sector is subject to increasing regulation, both within and outside Europe. It has become more complex and challenging for financial institutions to continuously anticipate and comply with constantly changing regulations.

SPAC

A SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) is an alternative way of raising capital through an initial public offering, before acquiring an operating target company.

Governance

Governance and supervision within large corporations and (semi-)public institutions require careful consideration. Supervisory board members often find themselves in a complex position: they must remain sufficiently involved in the company’s management while also maintaining their independent role. Striking the right balance is essential, especially when the pressure is high and the stakes are significant.
