Like the firm's other offices around the world, many of our Dutch associates are qualified in several jurisdictions and speak several languages (English, German, French, Spanish), thus adding force to our international profile.
Applying the highest standards in technical expertise, training and human resources, we are active in the fields of both local and international business law for Dutch, European and international companies.
The Amsterdam office has about 40 lawyers, including 9 partners. Our office is organized in six business units.
The main areas of expertise of the Amsterdam office are:
- Corporate, M&A
- Banking & Finance
- Employment
Lovells is organised to respond to the needs of different economic sectors and branches of industry. Experts from the different legal disciplines and jurisdictions work together in industry groups (such as pharmaceuticals, telecoms, media and energy) that have the specific expertise required to advise clients in those particular industries. Key words are "industry expertise", "synergy" and "excellence".
This structure enables us to combine technical specialisation efficiently with client care. Each client has a designated contact partner, who is responsible for managing the client's relationship with the firm - even though other partners and lawyers will of course be involved on matters which are outside the client contact partner's area of practice.
