Welcome to
Guldemond Advocaten
About us
Guldemond Advocaten advises and litigates at a high level for mainly internationally active entrepreneurs and companies based on classic values of the legal profession such as independence and expertise but with personal attention and use of modern tools when they add value for our clients.
Our firm has a particular connection with German-speaking countries and we are active in several high-profile international lawyer networks (such as AIJA, Legal Mondo and American Counsel Association) based on long-standing personal relationships. Our core competences lie in the areas of corporate law (M&A and corporate litigation, governance, corporate employment law and co-determination), insolvency law (recovery, Private Composition (Prevention of Insolvency) Act (Wet Homologatie Onderhands Akkoord) private civil law and commercial contracts (agency, franchise and distribution), and intellectual property law (“soft-IP”), IT law and privacy law. We are also at the forefront in terms of knowledge and experience when it comes to so-called “digital assets” (crypto currencies and tokens). We have experience with ICOs, funds and traders as well as board experience in this dynamic sector.
Naturally, precisely because of our clients’ demanding and complex projects, we keep in close contact with specialists from the legal profession and beyond with whom we enjoy working and sharing knowledge. On larger projects, we can always rely on colleagues and teams from other offices.
We maintain offices in a fantastic and easily accessible location with discreet and high-quality meeting rooms with high-end audiovisual and video-conferencing capabilities, comfortable lounge, hospitality and concierge services to meet our clients’ high expectations in that respect too.
