About

Provided by De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek

We are universally regarded as a leading finance law firm in the Netherlands. Few firms in the Netherlands can match the quality of our people and our leading position across the full range of corporate, asset and project financing, debt restructuring, and debt.

Our finance & restructuring practice is serviced by an integrated, multidisciplinary team dedicated to the design, negotiation and documentation of both general corporate finance transactions and complex high-impact finance transactions. We offer our clients a single point of contact for both the typical finance aspects of those transactions, and on related issues such as corporate reorganisation, intra-group transfers, the board’s fiduciary duties, insolvency-related advice, and stakeholder management. This integrated approach has proven a unique selling point in recent multinational finance and restructuring mandates.

By teaming up with the leading corporate and finance firms in Europe, the United States, and Asia, we are able to offer seamless cross-border services to our clients. The breadth and depth of De Brauw’s legal capabilities in all relevant areas, including corporate, contract, security and insolvency law, and in regulatory matters, ensures that our finance and restructuring team is at the forefront of legal developments in the Netherlands.
