European Legal 500 2009:
"Within Commercial litigation, Van Doorne’s litigation team acts for liability insurers in almost all material D&O liability cases pending in the Netherlands. Pieter van Regteren Altena and Maurits Kalff receive high praise from clients for their 'responsiveness and ability to think broadly and creatively about the mechanisms for dispute resolution'. Jasper Leedekerken was recently promoted to partner, taking the total number to ten. The team recently assisted a high-profile client in relation to a considerable number of asbestos claims."
"Within Insurance, Van Doorne is a first tier firm, Van Doorne’s insurance team ‘has a great deal of experience and a hands-on approach, which makes them very pleasant to work with’. The team has advised a large number of international and Dutch insurance companies and brokers, including AIG and Chubb.
