BLD Ekelmans is the joint brand name of BLD Bach Langheid Dallmayr and BLD Ekelmans. In 2025 BLD Ekelmans joined forces with BLD , the market leader in Germany in the field of (Corporate) Insurance. This strategic growth significantly strengthens BLD Ekelmans’ Insurance and Corporate practices and enhances the firm’s ability to serve and advise clients on complex, cross-border matters. BLD has a strong alliance with DAC Beachcroft, an English law firm specialising in insurance and corporate law with offices worldwide. By combining  knowledge, expertise, and market insights, the firms provide excellent comprehensive service and advice to clients in an ever-changing world.

Insurance & Corporate is what defines BLD Ekelmans. It refers to the specialist expertise of the lawyers and the fields of law in which they support their clients.

In the insurance practice, the firm works closely with national and international insurance companies. The lawyers are specialized in the areas of law that are relevant to them, such as insurance and liability law.

The corporate practice group supports corporate clients, ie companies. BLD Ekelmans offers support with contracts, M&A, employment law, appeals in cassation and litigation. Thus ‘Corporate’ stands for both the companies the lawyers work for and the fields of law in which they assist them.

BLD Ekelmans  is also a member of the international network Legalink. Legalink is a non-exclusive, international legal network of over 60 independent business oriented law firms.

German companies that (want to) do business in the Netherlands in line with Dutch law can turn to the specialised German Desk of BLD Ekelmans for sound legal advice and for support with legal procedures.
