Business Service Lawyers
Business Lawyers Netherlands,
Business services are among the fastest growing branches of industry in the Netherlands. If we include agency workers, this sector has more employees than the entire sector. Most business services companies are small and have ten members of staff or less. The threshold to start a business is low, as the provision of business services does in general demand relatively few investments in buildings, machines and stocks. As a legal firm, we ourselves form part of this diverse sector.
The lawyers of Leeman Verheijden Huntjens work closely together with a number of civil-law notaries from Rotterdam and various regional accountancy firms. Clients are also referred to one another if there is such a need. The fact that they are seen as a good and reliable partner by these parties is a big compliment for our firm.
Our client portfolio includes IT companies, accountants, tax specialists, facilities service providers and estate agents. Our team advises them during internal issues about structure and collaboration, but also in the case of mergers, dissolution and the realisation of joint ventures. We are also closely involved in preparing and concluding contracts, general terms and conditions and we provide advice about employment contracts and reorganisations. Our litigation lawyers are ready for any legal proceedings.

Court of Appeal rules that ‘pre-pack is a transfer of a company’
In case of a pre-pack, also called a pre-packaged insolvency, an intended receiver is working on a relaunch some time prior to the declaration of the bankruptcy, so a relaunch may be realised shortly after the declaration of the bankruptcy, possibly even the same day. The aim of the pre-pack is continuation of the company with the highest possible yield.
Excessive lending. Court rejects claim Rabobank for repayment of residual debt
The breach of the duty of care of the bank in granting a mortgage loan may have far-reaching consequences for the bank, as can be seen in a decision of the “Midden-Nederland” court of 12 October 2016.
Dutch bankruptcy law
Bankruptcy in The Netherlands is governed by the Dutch Bankruptcy Act.
