What we can

All sides of the negotiating table

M&A

As experienced dealmakers, we are familiar with all sides of the negotiating table. So we thoroughly understand what's important to you. But just insisting on what one thinks is right does not always lead to the best solution. Understanding what drives the other party is at least as important to us. By understanding all the interests as thoroughly as possible, it's easier to reach an agreement.

How we can help you?

• Sale or purchase of a business
• Investment rounds
• Management participation plans
• Setting up funds and joint ventures
• Management buy-outs
• Restructurings
• Transactions in the event of financial distress or bankruptcy
• Carve-out transactions

Please refer to our track record for examples of recent cases we advises in.

Corporate Governance

Differences of opinion between shareholders, the management or supervisors about the course of the company's business can lead to a deadlock. We take on different roles in order to find a solution for the company and its stakeholders. For example, the role of a lawyer who acts on behalf of a party, but also roles where we stand above all the parties in order to unblock the stalled process.

How can we help you?

• Temporary role as director
• Temporary role as supervisor
• Director or supervisor at the request of the Enterprise Court of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal
• Independent chairman of a corporate body
• Mediator
• Lawyer

Examples of cases in which we have advised are of a confidential nature.

We will be happy to explain our expertise in this area in a meeting.

Financing

We can also advise you on the financing of a transaction. We understand very well that a financing agreement is not an objective, but the start of a business relationship. We are tough negotiators, focused on the best result without sacrificing good relations

Which kind of financing can we help you with?

• Project financing
• Working capital
• Real estate financing
• Acquisition financing

A dispute often stands in the way of doing business in the best possible way. Whether it concerns a dispute between shareholders, a claim under the warranties or a commercial dispute about contractual arrangements.

As specialists in company law and commercial disputes, we think in terms of solutions. We analyse the case, give clear and pragmatic advice and manage expectations.

We settle if we can and litigate if we have to. Our hands-on and efficient approach ensures that it is not the conflict but doing business that takes centre stage again.

• Sales of Marqt to Udea (parent company Ekoplaza)
