Dispute resolution

Results-Oriented Approach

Our Litigation and Dispute Resolution group has extensive experience in assisting clients with complex commercial disputes. We provide clients with comprehensive legal, strategic, and commercial advice at the highest level and guide them in minimising the impact of disputes on their business operations.

Extensive Experience in Complex Proceedings

We have broad experience in handling proceedings before courts and courts of appeal, including the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal, collective actions and settlements under the Dutch Collective Settlement of Mass Claims Act (WCAM), and arbitration under ICC, ICSID, LCIA, NAI, SIAC, and UNCITRAL rules.

We are characterized by our strategic and results-oriented approach, our substantive excellence, and our deep knowledge of both national and international legal frameworks. We frequently collaborate with law firms in the Netherlands and abroad on complex matters. Our positioning and scale enable us to strike the perfect balance between personal attention and the highest level of service.
