The Netherlands is often regarded as an ideal export market for British businesses due to its geographical proximity, apparently similar business culture and the fact that English is widely understood. At Steeles Law we have a dedicated Anglo-Dutch practice with many years experience in helping companies successfully develop profitable business strategies involving the Netherlands, UK and the wider European Union.
We work with businesses of all sizes, from small enterprises entering their first European distribution agreements through to established multi-national listed companies restructuring their operations in the Netherlands and Benelux countries. Whatever line of business you are in, retail, manufacture, distribution, road haulage or North Sea energy generation, our Anglo-Dutch practice can help your business.
We assist organisations with the selection of potential Anglo-Dutch business partners, strategies to overcome the cultural, social and legal differences that exist between the UK and the Netherlands, registering/forming UK or Dutch subsidiary companies as well issues of UK and Dutch employment law. Our team of multi skilled solicitors (which include fluent Dutch speakers) offers technical and focused legal advice in respect of UK and Dutch legal systems as well as economic and commercial insight into the region. We have excellent relationships with various UK and Dutch Government Agencies, Chambers of Commerce, Employer Federations, Trade Bodies and professional advice groups.
