De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek

At De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, the energy team has an excellent reputation for its expertise in advising on a broad spectrum of contentious, transactional and regulatory matters. Cross-border work is a core area of strength for the group, which continues to be kept busy handling infrastructure projects, project finance, disputes and regulatory issues. Leadership is shared between Michael Schouten, who focuses on transactional mandates, and Martje Verhoeven-de Vries Lentsch, who leads on cross-border energy disputes and complex commercial arbitration. Jasper van Uden is a key contact. Arjan Kleinhout left the firm in July 2025.
