Netherlands

The Netherlands has a long history as an international trading nation and was the first nation to establish a modern exchange in 1603. It's still one of the most active markets today, with over 22,000 deals with a value of USD2,226.6 billion completed over the past 30 years. The country is well known for contributions to technology and science – a legacy which continues with its high-profile life sciences and technology companies.

Our Netherlands team is ranked in the top ten of international law firms in the country, with over 60 lawyers working between our technology-focused Eindhoven office and our financial and regulatory focused Amsterdam office.
