A robust international firm with a well-established presence in the Netherlands, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is a popular option for handling international and cross-border matters. It plays a strategic role within the global practice, routinely coordinating work with its integrated system across various jurisdictions. Freshfields collaborates with its other offices to assist clients, acting both as lead counsel for those wishing to expand their operations overseas and as Dutch counsel for those with business interests in the local market.
While Freshfields offers a full service, the law firm has particular aptitude in serving clients on complex cross-border transactions. Freshfields is recognised as a global corporate M&A powerhouse by commentators, capable of routinely handling corporate deals and joint ventures that involve multiple jurisdictions. The team also excels in competition and EU law, acting for a varied client base of international and multinational companies.
Alongside this, Freshfields has good financial capabilities, with the capacity to act on restructuring matters and on international litigation, particularly in the telecommunications sector. The law firm also hosts a strong IP team, is capable in tax, and more specifically has in-house Dutch and English law financing and securitisation experts with an impressive record of working on international deals.
