The ‘proven knowledge, skills, expertise and experience’ of practitioners at HBN Law & Tax is a boon to clients across a breadth of sectors requiring advice on operations across the Dutch Caribbean. Corporate and M&A transactions, banking and finance work, regulatory issues, tax assistance, and litigation are all handled adeptly by the firm. Among the key lawyers to note are: Marcha Woudstra for constitutional and administrative law; Jan Pas, who is based in Amsterdam; tax expert and practice head Wendell Meriaan; key contact for energy and telecoms clients, Eric de Vries; litigator Chris de Bres; and Jeroen Eichhorn for M&A, banking and finance, investment funds and asset protection. Stan Putter looks on course for a strong future after his promotion to partner in April 2024.
