Robert van Vugt is an attorney-at-law at AKD who specialises in complex litigation and advisory work in both commercial disputes and cross-border collective redress proceedings.

He is actively involved in high-profile collective actions, including emissions cases as well as major data protection and privacy class actions against big tech companies.

This dual insight allows him to anticipate opposing arguments and deliver practical, effective solutions tailored to his clients’ objectives.
