About

Provided by De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek

The Capital Markets team has in-depth expertise in all relevant aspects of capital markets transactions and advice. We believe the quality and experience of our partners, associates and support staff is unparalleled. 

Our high deal flow ensures that we are always fully up-to-date on regulatory developments and current market practices, as exemplified by our involvement in almost all major Dutch IPOs. Our team has the flexibility and innovative capacity to assist in and, where required, spearhead niche capital markets transactions. We thrive on complex deals, where we can display our capacity for thinking outside-of-the-box and proposing innovative solutions.

We primarily advise corporations - as well as banks - in equity transactions, debt transactions, and regulatory capital instruments. We strive to provide our global corporate clients with the highest standard of independent legal advice. We collaborate with a global network of renowned law firms, including a select number in the US, and regularly work with them in fixed teams, allowing us to offer our clients first-class, cross-border services.
