Corporate Law
We believe that corporate law facilitates business practice, rather than the reverse. We focus on opportunities rather than impossibilities. Entrepreneurship is in our DNA. We are not only legal specialists, but also appreciate the impact that a transaction, restructuring or legal dispute may have on a business owner. Our advice therefore also takes the context into account.
We are specialists in the fields of mergers and acquisitions (M&A), venture capital and private equity transactions, and various types of strategic alliances, such as joint ventures. In addition, we have lawyers who are intensively involved in corporate litigation. Furthermore we advise you on corporate governance and commercial contracts.
M&A / Venture Capital
Our transaction lawyers have extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions and in venture capital and private equity transactions. We advise investment companies, large companies and their shareholders. We also regularly represent start-ups and growth companies. We can advise on all changes in ownership structures, from the first seed financing until the ultimate exit. We have in-depth knowledge of the processes. To ensure that they run smoothly, we like to play a leading role. That allows us to provide you with clear analyses and practical advice.
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Management buy-ins/buy-outs

Corporate Litigation
Companies and institutions have different stakeholders: the management board, the supervisory board, the shareholders, but also the customers and suppliers. Unfortunately, their interests and objectives do not always coincide, so that sometimes litigation is unavoidable to solve a conflict. Within our corporate litigation practice group we litigate a wide range of disputes between stakeholders of companies and institutions, such as proceedings before the civil courts and the Enterprise Chamber of the Court of Appeal of Amsterdam on acquisition disputes, officers’ and directors’ liability, and disputes between shareholders.
For Vestius, litigation is never an end on itself. It is a straw that we grasp with both hands when there is no other option. We are happy to enter into confrontation, but one eye remains focused on a settlement. Sometimes the moment to optimize a settlement simply lies after the start of proceedings.
