International & Cross-Border Financing

Chambers Review

Clifford Chance's office in the Netherlands is recognised for making a strong contribution towards the law firm's overall global strength, as practitioners turn to the Netherlands team for its coordinating abilities on a range of cross-border work, particularly for the financial sector. The law firm collaborates effectively with other Clifford Chance offices across its international network, handling a mix of inbound and outbound matters, and offering an integrated seamless service. The team is well equipped to coordinate work covering multiple jurisdictions, representing an impressive array of multinational and international lenders, borrowers and other major financial institutions, as clients often choose to work with Clifford Chance due to its notable English law capacity in Amsterdam, as well as in London.

Clifford Chance is particularly praised for its outstanding capabilities in financing, with particular strength in mainstream banking and finance, project finance, DCM and restructuring deals. These core areas of the firm account for a significant amount of cross-border work, often involving complex regulatory issues, whilst pan-European litigation relating to bankruptcy and securities are a key part of the cross-border financial disputes practice.

The law firm equally demonstrates a strong track record in handling cross-border corporate transactions, including high-end corporate M&A, capital markets and tax mandates, as well as demonstrating strength in energy-related transactions. When working on these transactions, the law firm is known for acting as lead counsel for matters that involve several jurisdictions worldwide.
