Our small and flexible teams in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg work successfully for domestic and foreign companies on strategic transactions, private equity deals, venture capital investments, restructurings and distressed M&A. This last item is frequently done in collaboration with our Restructuring & Insolvency team. Our team's expertise extends to other areas of law and supervisory regulations relating to mergers and acquisitions, such as employee co-determination, transfer of undertaking, financing, security and ancillary restrictions.
The lawyers, civil-law notaries and tax advisers in our teams have a thorough understanding of the sector in which your company is active, collaborating closely in order to achieve the best result and get the deal done. AKD's full-service approach and extensive international network enables the team to advise on all legal and tax aspects of any - national or international - transaction. With our in-house civil-law notaries standing by, we are able to provide assistance from the start and work towards an effective closing.
Our long-standing, close collaboration with other business service providers, including corporate finance advisers, banks and W&I insurers, equips our lawyers, civil-law notaries and tax advisers with a unique skill set to communicate with other advisers involved. We are in consequence fully familiar with the jargon used by financial or operational parties involved in the transaction.
