Since the mid-1990s, BarentsKrans has been a pioneer in the field of banks, insurers and other financial service providers’ liability. Setting themselves apart with a combination of keen legal, financial and economic knowledge, our lawyers are nationally and internationally recognised and are regularly recommended by other law firms and financial specialists.
Our expertise
Our financial litigators possess a wealth of knowledge and experience in:
- Investment losses in advisory relationships
- Asset management
- The misselling of financial products
- Interim changes to and/or the termination of loans, like interest-rate derivatives
- The liability of regulators (for example, BarentsKrans’ role in the proceedings concerning the Dutch Central Bank’s liability in DSB’s insolvency)
- Prospectus liability
BarentsKrans has a very good dispute resolution team with smart and sophisticated lawyers.
Investors, private investors, investment firms, financial service providers, investment institutions, fund managers and issuers contact BarentsKrans if they need a dedicated trusted advisor. Following a legal analysis of the position, an economic assessment is made weighing up the opportunities, risks and costs which are then translated into a strategy that defines how the issue is handled: in negotiations and/or in proceedings before judicial bodies or complaints boards like the Dutch Institute for Financial Disputes (Kifid).
