The lawyers and civil-law notaries in the Corporate / M&A practice group advise on the legal aspects of mergers and acquisitions on a daily basis. An acquisition is generally a complex process. Our team has accumulated vast amounts of experience in overseeing transactions over the past few years. We advocate a practical and solution-oriented approach.

Our Corporate / M&A practice group focuses primarily on overseeing transactions in the Netherlands and international transactions involving a Dutch company. For international transactions, we work closely with leading independent firms around the world.

The knowledge and experience of our M&A specialists is complemented by that of other specialists in our firm, for example when conducting vendor due diligence or other due diligence investigations, when sending notifications to the Authority for Consumers and Markets, and on employment law and financing aspects. Our team is recommended in the internationally renowned Chambers and Legal 500 guides, and some of our specialists even have individual rankings.

Typical work for our specialists includes conducting due diligence investigations, drafting transaction documents like Letters of Intent (LOIs), Share Purchase Agreements (SPAs), Asset Purchase Agreements (APAs), Shareholders’ Agreements (SHAs), and Joint Venture Agreements (JVAs) and providing advice on them. The notarial specialists focus on share transactions, articles of association, legal mergers and demergers, corporate governance, the establishment and release of securities, Notary Letters, fund flows, and closing mechanisms.

We stand out by having partner involvement in every transaction, our small teams and our dedicated and hands-on specialists.
