Description
De Brauw is known as the leading international law firm in the Netherlands. Rooted deeply in the Dutch tradition of problem-solving and innovation, they offer high-end legal advice in corporate transactions, disputes and regulatory enforcement. Their lawyers are widely recognised as leaders in their fields. Together, they form a strong collective, representing their clients, relentlessly pursuing excellence.
Within this framework, the R&I practice advises financial institutions, multinational companies, private equity investors and management, on all types of restructuring or insolvency-related issues with the benefit of the expertise within the firm, be that in Litigation, Corporate Governance, Regulatory, Distressed M&A, Tax, IP, and/or Employment. They are frequently involved in international and multijurisdictional transactions and litigation proceedings, and they occasionally accept appointments by foreign courts to act as special counsel or an expert in foreign proceedings.
Over the years, De Brauw’s R&I practice has played a central role in major restructurings, including the turnaround of Dutch Retail Icon, HEMA; the rescue attempts of various financial institutions; extensive litigation resulting from Russian Yukos Bankruptcy; and finance vehicles (Spanish Isolux Group, Brazilian OI, Indian Jet airways). All these matters were front-page news in both the national and international press.

Member firms of this select body provide significant ongoing financial support to INSOL, enabling INSOL to carry out its collaboration with major projects. Aside from handling individual matters, their insolvency team is also heavily involved in making recommendations on bills submitted by the Dutch government, notably the Dutch Scheme (WHOA).
