  • Secured a win for various aviation industry parties, including 18 airlines, in challenging the Dutch State's proposed downsizing measures for Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, suddenly reducing the maximum number of flights from 500,000 to 460,000 in the next year. The Supreme Court ruled that the Dutch State must complete the 'balanced approach procedure' under the EU Noise Regulation before implementing such measures, overturning a previous decision by the Amsterdam Court of Appeal.

Expertise

Litigation
Business disputes can have a major impact on your organisation's reputation, continuity and financial position. Conflicts are becoming increasingly common due to growing regulation and social pressure. Shareholder disputes, contractual conflicts, directors' liability and collective actions invariably call for a well thought-out strategy and a thorough understanding of the sector.
Supreme Court Litigation
Some cases are so complex or fundamental that they have to be taken to the Supreme Court. Supreme Court proceedings are conducted by specialist lawyers, known in the Netherlands as ‘cassation lawyers’.
Dutch Caribbean
Houthoff’s Dutch Caribbean experts advise on the laws applicable in the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
