Luuk van der Sluis, Partner comments:
“Membership of AGA will consolidate DVDW's standing in the Dutch market, expand our international client base as well as helping to consolidate and expand our existing M&A services. We are keen to work with our fellow members as we currently have clients seeking support in other jurisdictions including in Poland, Belgium, the UK, and the US.
“As members, we will seek to form strong friendships with our international colleagues as well as learning about and sharing mutual business opportunities. We are especially delighted that DVDW will now be able to offer AGA members and their clients’ insight and advice on Dutch matters when required.”
Alliott Global Alliance’s CEO, Giles Brake adds:
“Re-establishing our representation in the Dutch legal market in 2022 was a clear strategic priority for the alliance. The appointment of a law firm of the calibre and size of DVDW signals our ambitions and gives AGA a much stronger presence in the important Netherlands market. DVDW joins other independent law and accounting firms across the world who are working through the alliance to help clients expand internationally and manage their cross-border risk more successfully. We extend a warm welcome to Christiaan, Luuk, and the rest of the team.”
The alliance has its sights set on expanding its European coverage further in 2022, particularly in the Nordic, CEE and SEE regions.
