What we do
Financial supervisory law has been subject to significant change in recent years. Compliance with laws and regulations is monitored by both national and international regulators. Due to the increasing administrative burden on enterprises within financial supervisory law, specialized knowledge is by no means a luxury.
Companies operating in financial markets face various regulatory frameworks. Companies that qualify as investment institutions or financial service providers (such as Fintech) are also subject to financial supervisory law. We assist financial service providers and investment institutions with, among other things:
- license applications to the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM)
- compliance with the Financial Supervision Act (Wft) and the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act (Wwft)
- issue shares on regulated markets
- attracting alternative financing with the help of crowdfunding
- Crypto transactions & exchanges
- Prospectus requirement
- IPO
- SPAC
- Supervisory disputes
- Security
We have the knowledge and expertise to assume diverse roles: from advisory services to dispute resolution. We have an experienced team of lawyers and legal experts in the field of financial supervision. Contact us to discuss the possibilities.
Mr. Jaime Boogaers
Corporate Law · Lawyer
In specialized legal cases, it is not just about the legal rule. It is also about evidence, timing, negotiating position, and the business implications of every step.
What we help with
We assist entrepreneurs and organizations with legal questions where careful assessment, strategy, and execution are important.
- Assessment of your legal position
- Analysis of contracts, decisions, correspondence, and supporting documents
- Advice on liability, defense, and strategy
- Drafting or reviewing legal correspondence
- Negotiation with counterparty, trustee, shareholder or advisor
- Guidance during escalation, proceedings, or settlement
When should you call in a specialist?
Legal assistance is particularly valuable when the stakes are high, deadlines are running, or when an incorrect response could weaken your position.
- There is a claim, demand, or notice of liability
- You are unsure whether to respond, negotiate, or litigate
- There are major financial or reputational risks
- The other party exerts pressure or uses short deadlines
- You want to prevent a response from being used against you later
- You want to know in advance what is legally and commercially sound
Assess first, then respond
In specialized cases, an initial response can be decisive for the subsequent course of action. An admission, incomplete explanation, or the wrong tone could be used against you later. Therefore, we first assess exactly what is being alleged, which facts have been established, which documents are missing, and which strategy aligns with your best interests.
Our approach
You will not receive an abstract legal account, but a practical assessment of your position, risks, and next steps.
01
Intake and initial assessment
We will briefly discuss the situation, the available documents, and your primary interests.
02
Analysis of position and risks
We assess your legal position, supporting documents, deadlines, and possible next steps.
03
Strategic advice
You will receive concrete advice on the best course of action: responding, negotiating, settling, or litigating.
04
Execution
We assist with correspondence, negotiation, litigation strategy, or further legal assistance.
Specialists for entrepreneurs
We combine legal analysis with practical experience in cases for entrepreneurs, directors, and organizations.
Our banking & financial sector team is engaged for legal and strategic support within financial law. Developments in the financial markets are closely monitored by our legal experts and lawyers. This is because the rules for banks, pension funds, and insurance companies have become increasingly strict, partly due to new European regulations. Our legal advice is of high quality, and we take a pragmatic approach. This means that the advice can be implemented directly within the organization, or the practice group can provide support with the implementation.
