Addleshaw Goddard opens for business in Amsterdam

International law firm Addleshaw Goddard (AG) has entered the Netherlands’ market with the opening of Amsterdam as its 22nd office.

The completion of the integration of leading independent firm Florent adds 17 partners and more than 60 lawyers in total to AG. The Amsterdam office situated in the heart of the city’s Zuidas financial district will continue to be led by Chris Jager and Kees van de Meent.

Welcome to our new Amsterdam partners and colleagues. They are a great fit for Addleshaw Goddard and there is real enthusiasm across our offices to embrace this team into the firm. The launch of AG in the Netherlands strengthens our ability to support clients on strategic, transactional and contentious matters across all key markets in Europe and beyond.”

"We are excited to open our doors as Addleshaw Goddard. Since announcing our plan to join Addleshaw Goddard we have received positive feedback from our clients and have already identified opportunities to work together with AG on cross-border opportunities. We look forward to supporting all of our clients doing business in, to and from the Netherlands.”
