Chambers Review
A well-respected firm headquartered in the Netherlands, Houthoff incorporates a significant international perspective into its practice. Offices in Amsterdam and Rotterdam provide a full-service scope, are well established in the local market and have capacity to lead cross-border matters, routinely advising on Dutch legal aspects of complex international matters. Houthoff also has offices in Brussels, London and New York to maintain strong relationships abroad, and the law firm also has a dedicated regional focus within its practice, with teams focusing on China, Japan, Korea, Latin America and other parts of Europe. Houthoff frequently coordinates with leading firms in other jurisdictions, and as the Netherlands' exclusive member of the elite 'Lex Mundi' network, Houthoff is also able to call on expertise from across that global platform.
Houthoff offers notable transactional cross-border capabilities, with particular strength in investment funds, competition law, tax, corporate investigations and a mixture of high-end corporate M&A and mid-market private equity deals. These are key pillars for the law firm's cross-border work, in which transactions typically involve multiple jurisdictions worldwide.
Houthoff is also highly rated in dispute resolution and handles complex cross-border insolvency matters and international arbitration proceedings. The Amsterdam team also routinely acts on cross-border banking and finance and ECM mandates, with a strong following from Dutch and international banks, private equity investors and large corporations.
