Enterprise & Business
Mergers and takeovers
A merger or takeover requires careful action from all parties involved. After all, the consequences for your company can be far-reaching. Not only the opportunities and financial risks are important, but also the legal structure and the emotions of your people. Things for the future must be properly arranged and unpleasant surprises must be avoided. It is therefore important to seek legal advice at an early stage in order to ensure a smooth and businesslike transaction.
We work throughout the entire process, from letter of intent to closing the deal, often together with your accountant, tax consultant or civil-law notary.
Our work in these processes is very diverse. You can think of support in drawing up the sales memorandum and structuring the transaction, carrying out a due diligence and analysis of legal risks, drawing up non-disclosure agreements, consultation with banks and other financiers, drawing up loan agreements, drawing up and assessing collateral contracts and guarantees, coordination with works councils, supervisory directors and shareholders, assessment of competition law and employee participation law aspects, drawing up and assessing takeover contracts, drawing up shareholder agreements and implementing amendments to the articles of association, implementing reorganisations necessary after the takeover (including in the area of personnel), support with (guarantee) claims following the transaction.

Action on taxation in box 3
As we all know, there has been a lot of recent movement on box 3 taxation. Box 3 primarily taxes savings, investments and real estate. The assets in this box were previously taxed on the basis of a flat rate of return: the tax authorities set an assumed percentage, regardless of the actual return. This meant that many taxpayers paid taxes on a return they had not actually received. You may also have overpaid taxes in the past. If so, chances are you may be eligible for legal redress!
The Environment Act & Disadvantage Compensation (part 2) The reference date and (planning) comparison
As of Jan. 1, 2024, the Environment Act will be in effect. With its entry into force, it has been said that the largest legislative operation has been completed since the introduction of the Dutch Constitution law in 1848. Several previously existing separate laws and regulations have been combined into one law and four Orders in Council with the Environment Act. With a legislative operation of such magnitude, of course (principle) choices are made that bring about a change from the previously applicable law. So too in the context of the Environment Act.
What are the options and points of attention when subletting business space?
For tenants of business premises, it may make sense to (partially) sublet the leased business premises. The tenant then also becomes a sublessee. Is this allowed?
