Even though the Netherlands is a small country, it is still considered one of the ‘main ports’ to the rest of Europe. As a result, many companies establish their headquarters or subsidiary companies in the Netherlands. Over the years, De Clercq International Desk helped many of these companies in setting up and starting their organisations, in full compliance with Dutch law, including labour law, corporate law, IT law, public law and tax law.

Partly because of Brexit, we notice an increase in foreign companies that are planning to move their headquarters to the Netherlands. The demand for legal services by local specialists is greater than ever. In order to meet this demand, De Clercq Lawyers and Notary set up a specialized taskforce that assists foreign companies in preparing for the future.
