Ruud van der Velden heads ‘an awesome team‘ at Hogan Lovells International LLP. It attracts high-profile cases, especially in the life sciences, chemical, and high tech fields. It is also notable as a co-founded the Legal Diversity & Inclusion Alliance in Belgium and Stichting Forward in the Netherlands. The ‘fabled‘ Bert Oosting is considered a premier practitioner for complex, international patent and technology disputes and Klaas Bisschop is noted for handling disputes before Dutch national courts, arbitral panels, and the Court of Justice of the European Union. The majority of his cases come from the industries such as life sciences where research and development is core. The practice is also notable for a talented team of senior associates such as Dirk-Jan Ridderinkhof and Stefan Dusault.

As part of a ‘broad global network of good life sciences lawyers’, Hogan Lovells International LLP’s Amsterdam-based team handles both EU-wide regulatory work and Netherlands-focused work. Healthcare compliance, EU regulatory pathways and life cycle management are key areas of focus for the practice. The regulatory practice has ancillary support in a strong patents practice, which often coordinates multi-jurisdictional patent litigation. Bert Oosting focuses on regulatory exclusivity rights, biosimilar and generic approval pathways and market access and parallel trade; he jointly heads the team with Hein Van den Bos.
