Mr Roderik Vrolijk > Stibbe > Amsterdam, Netherlands > Lawyer Profile

Led by Rogier Raas and recently promoted partner Roderik Vrolijk, Stibbe’s practice is notably prominent in complex and strategic financial regulatory mandates, many of which are of a multi-jurisdictional nature. On the transactional side, the team’s key activities comprise the regulatory aspects of M&A, private equity, equity capital markets and debt financing. Elsewhere, the group is often instructed on a standalone basis for advice on licence applications, fintech-related matters, anti-money laundering and governance issues, as well as regulatory compliance, more recently in relation to sustainable finance and ESG laws. Senior associates Ingrid Viertelhauzen and Soeradj Ramsanjhal are particularly strong in regulatory investigations and enforcement matters.

Stibbe‘s TMT practice group routinely works on ICT contracting, disputes, cloud contracting and software licensing for large corporates and the Dutch State. The team not only advises clients on IT procurement processes and contracting for mission-critical Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software and other ICT services but also represents clients in disputes related to failed implementation. Fintech and financial regulatory experts Rogier Raas and Roderik Vrolijk are key contacts for financial institutions and frequently advise on digital licensing matters. Having co-set up the Digital Economy Group, Jaap van Slooten focuses on the platform economy. As a recent arrival from Dirkzwager, senior associate Nynke Brouwer adds a new dimension to the practice, specialising in data protection and cybersecurity issues for a range of clients. Former team head Judica Krikke departed for Kennedy Van der Laan.
