Van Doorne‘s practice is well-regarded by clients for its ’quality of advice and genuine commitment to its clients’. Assisting clients on cross-border mobility aspects of the broad range of high-value transactions, advising various parties on financial restructuring aspects of deals, and advising on tax implications across the board, are all prominent features of the team’s workload. Further, it is well-placed to advise on renewable and conventional energy aspects of cross-border reorganisations. International restructuring specialist Arnout Stroeve helms the team alongside cross-border transactions-focused Maarten Appels, tax specialist Sjoerd Stokmans, and restructuring and insolvency specialist Stefan van Rossum. Daan ter Braak is also a name to note.
