About
- Full service and full focus For over a century, we’ve combined a full-service approach with both broad and in-depth sector knowledge. We believe it’s essential to know what’s happening, how things work, what defines a sector’s nature and habits, and how the dynamics play out. That’s why we stay close to our clients — to truly understand their sector inside out. This enables us to look at every question from multiple angles and deliver high-quality, well-rounded solutions. We do so from our own offices, as well as through our dedicated country teams and our extensive, global Friends Network. We have the scale, expertise and experience to advise on national and international mergers and acquisitions. To resolve complex public matters and handle disputes large and small. To advise on major projects, from the energy transition to issues around privacy and data security. AKD is a leading international law firm, with over 600 lawyers, tax advisers, civil-law notaries and supporting professionals advising on Dutch, Belgian and Luxembourg legal and tax matters. Putting it like that is somewhat out of character for us. We’re not ones to boast. Never have been. You can excel without making noise; that’s what we’ve always focused on. Our approach is a no-nonsense, true grit attitude. We are driven. We continuously work to deliver the very best for our clients. We’re close to our clients. We bring a deep, genuine engagement with their business, interests and challenges. In everything we do, we are competitive, driven and ambitious. We value open, strong relationships - the kind that allow us to challenge and inspire each other. We stand for top-tier legal work without pretence. No grandstanding. No unnecessary complexity. We bring matters to their core, making the complex simple. We stay grounded and focused. We are approachable, accessible – we make it easy to work with us. In a world that can change overnight, practicality and pragmatism have always been at the heart of our service. It’s in our DNA to always be there for our clients. Whatever their business, whatever their sector, whatever the matter - We’re on it.
