Corporate litigation is the collective term for proceedings
involving businesses and those who control them. Examples of this
are lawsuits involving the liability of directors and supervisory
directors, problems involving shareholders or holders of depositary
receipts, or difficulties in partnerships, cooperatives and
associations.
Litigation before the Enterprise Chamber of the Court of Appeals in
Amsterdam (“Ondernemingskamer”) demands special expertise, a
quality that our attorneys possess to a very high degree, due to
the fact that they have many years of experience in this type of
litigation.
Our attorneys cover every aspect of this field of law and can also
advise on issues such as disputes relating to annual accounts, the
policy pursued by and situation prevailing in legal entities (the
right of inquiry into the state of affairs of a company or
