Industry & Energy Dutch Lawyers
Today’s industrial sector is faced with many challenges, such as fluctuating prices for raw materials, supply chain issues, violation of intellectual property rights and technological developments. In addition, the environment, planning incorporation in the environment and sustainability also play an important role in the industry. Faced with all these challenges, it is important to have a sparring partner who is familiar with the issues in your sector and who will make life easier for you to the greatest possible extent.
Advice and litigation
Our lawyers fulfil that role. You will benefit from our knowledge of the legislation that applies to your sector. Examples are permit-granting within the framework of the Wet Milieubeheer (Environmental Management Act), for instance, and the enforcement thereof. You can of course also contact us for advice about competition issues, commercial collaboration contracts such as distribution agreements, and for mergers, takeovers and joint ventures. We are active for businesses that operate in the metal industry, the machine-building industry, the petro-chemical industry and the food industry.

Judicial sale of vessels
The Netherlands is a suitable jurisdiction to enforce claims against ships. The arrest of vessels is a broadly used manner to obtain payment or security for a long outstanding claim. It is not always that vessels are subsequently released. Especially where various parties arrest a vessel there is always a risk that the vessel will not leave port in the same ownership. With a certain frequency seagoing vessels are sold before the Dutch Courts through a judicial sale by public auction.
Ship Arrest in The Netherlands
The Kingdom of The Netherlands is party to several international conventions within the maritime field, including the International Convention Relating to the Arrest of Sea-Going Ships (Brussels, May 10, 1952).
The House for Whistleblowers Act has come into effect
On 1 July 2016, the Dutch House for Whistleblowers Act (Wet Huis voor Klokkenluiders) came into effect. Pursuant to this act, employees who have a suspicion of abuse within the organisation for which they work can turn to the House for Whistleblowers if the employer does not have a (adequate) procedure in place or the employer has failed to handle an internal report correctly.
