Firm Overview:

VANEPS keeps distinguishing itself with true unrivalled specialist legal advice across the Dutch Caribbean region. Financial institutions, large national companies, (listed) large multinational companies and governmental bodies are among the firm's strong client base. The attorneys in our firm are specialists with expertise in their dedicated field (almost all other law firms in our jurisdiction consist of general practitioners). Our attorneys are able to fully legally represent their respective clients throughout each of these jurisdictions. Several lawyers of our firm are also qualified to represent our clients in the Netherlands, enabling us to act on behalf of our clients in cross-border proceedings. VANEPS is the leading Dutch Caribbean law firm, having offices in all four different jurisdictions of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Caribbean, i.e. Curacao, Aruba, Bonaire (for the BES Islands), and St. Maarten. In addition, our Surinam Desk assists multinational companies (for instance the world’s largest natural resources companies) that operate on- or offshore projects in Surinam.
