Corporate & Commercial
Our corporate and commercial team supports entrepreneurs, shareholders and companies with clear, business-minded legal advice in the Netherlands and in cross-border situations involving Spain and Italy. We help clients structure, protect and grow their businesses by drafting and negotiating contracts that reduce risk and by advising on governance, decision-making and stakeholder responsibilities. When disputes arise, we act decisively—whether the goal is a workable settlement, urgent interim relief, or proceedings before the court or an arbitral tribunal. We combine legal precision with practical strategy, so our clients can move forward with confidence and control.
Criminal Defense
We provide decisive criminal defence and strategic advice from the earliest stage of an investigation through trial and appeal. Our approach is focused on safeguarding rights, challenging evidence and building a strong, coherent defence strategy tailored to the facts and the client’s personal and professional interests. We assist in urgent situations such as arrest, searches or detention, and we handle complex matters involving financial allegations or cross-border elements. Where appropriate, we also advise victims and injured parties on their position in criminal proceedings and on compensation possibilities.
Real Estate
We represent both landlords and tenants in residential and commercial tenancy matters, with an emphasis on fast, effective solutions and a strong understanding of practical realities. We advise on lease drafting, risk allocation and dispute prevention, and we act when problems escalate—whether the issue concerns rent arrears, termination, eviction, defects or service charge conflicts. Our team is experienced in negotiations and court proceedings, including urgent measures when immediate relief is necessary. The goal is always to protect the client’s position while keeping costs, time and disruption under control.
Insurance
We assist individuals and businesses in insurance matters where coverage, causation or liability is contested. Our work includes analysing policy terms, advising on claim strategy, and challenging denials or inadequate settlements. We represent clients in negotiations with insurers and, when needed, in litigation to enforce coverage or to recover losses. Because insurance disputes often involve technical documents and strict timelines, we focus on clear case-building, strong written submissions and a structured approach that increases the chance of a successful outcome.
