The practice is co-chaired by Jurjen Bevers, whose extensive experience covers a multitude of tax matters, including corporate and international taxation, group restructurings, M&A, private client taxation, and sector-specific issues within the energy industry; and Heico Reinoud, who is sought-after for his knowledge of Dutch corporate income tax, notably as impacting real estate investment companies, as well as dividend withholding tax planning. They are supported by Rezan Ökten, ’an excellent transfer-pricing expert’, and Manon van Bijlevelt, who focuses on indirect tax challenges.
