Competition/European Law - Netherlands: Up & coming: "Bram Nijhof of Taylor Wessing enters the rankings following positive feedback from clients, with one enthusing that he is "quick, has a deep understanding and easily turns legal advice into a business context." Another client appreciates that he is "really committed to the customer." He often represents clients in contentious cases, including abuse of dominance disputes and litigation around the prohibition of mergers. Bram Nijhof also assists clients with procurement matters."

Bram heads our Competition, EU and Trade team in the Netherlands and is a member of our European competition law team that operates from our Brussels office.

Known for getting to the heart of matters quickly, Bram advises and litigates on all aspects of competition law, public procurement and state aid. He is also one of few Dutch experts on the competition law components of standard essential patents and FRAND.
