Lindenbaum is a litigation firm that focuses on resolving complex disputes and provides boardroom counseling to help prevent disputes.
The firm's name is inspired by the Lindenbaum v Cohen decision of the Dutch Supreme Court from 1919. This decision marked a turning point in the development of Dutch tort law. The Supreme Court found that injured parties can enforce their rights when duties of care are breached, even if there is a not a breach of contract or statute. The name also refers to the linden tree, a place where justice was served in Germanic and Celtic cultures.
The firm specializes in complex litigation, specifically:
- class action litigation
- antitrust/competition law litigation
- corporate litigation
- commercial litigation
- ESG litigation
- AI litigation
The lawyers at Lindenbaum have successfully represented their clients in multi-billion euro claims. They have for example been involved in the largest European competition law follow-on claims in The Netherlands, such as the Air Cargo and Trucks cartel cases, and the largest securities settlement in Europe, the Fortis/Ageas settlement. The firm has successfully litigated class actions on both the plaintiff and defense side, and is counsel of choice in corporate litigation cases, such as post-M&A disputes, takeover battles, mismanagement disputes and buy-out cases.
Lindenbaum specializes in cases with cross-border effects. A substantial amount of the firms work involves cases where damage has been suffered Europe-wide by the clients. The firm also regularly serves as coordinating or co-counsel in cross-border disputes.
The firm has offices in Amsterdam and Eindhoven.
