Expertises

Public Law
The growth in Dutch and European regulation has an effect on all sectors. The relationship between government bodies and market parties is governed by regulation in areas such as financial and other supervision, the environment, spatial planning, land, procurement, health and safety, and tax.
Real Estate
The real estate market is constantly evolving, driven by urban growth, sustainability goals, complex financing, and shifting regulations. For companies, investors, and developers, these challenges are rarely simple - making knowledgeable legal advisors essential throughout the real estate lifecycle.
Environment & Planning
In a place as densely populated as the Netherlands, it is common to see small areas of land with many different functions and uses. Environmental law regulates the complex distribution of available space. This area of law is constantly changing due to new national and European laws and regulations, new building techniques and societal developments.
Investigations & Public Enforcement
Cases involving accusations of financial mismanagement, fraud, bribery, money laundering, corruption or violations of international sanctions seriously disrupt a client's operations and damage their reputation.
Energy & Industry
Investments in wind and solar energy, biorefining and large-scale energy storage are all here to stay. CO2 emissions have to be reduced, which means that production processes need to be more efficient. This requires significant investment on the part of the industry.
Environment & Planning Act
The Environment Act covers the space in which people live, work and relax. This new law merges old laws and contains rules for what can be seen, heard and smelled outside.
ESG & Sustainability
Behind the daily headlines on sustainability and environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues hide complex challenges such as permitting, subsidies, funding and reporting obligations. These matters affect the expectations and demands of all corporate stakeholders.
