The team handles a large volume of corporate and M&A work with a particular focus on private equity. It also handles tax litigation, acquisition finance, PPP, real estate and VAT matters, amongst others. The team has recently found itself more involved with Russian and Central European transactions due to a large amount of investors in these countries going through the Netherlands.
