Financial and corporate

Independent Dutch law firm Heussen has been active since 2005 and boasts a close cooperation with HEUSSEN Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung in Germany and HEUSSEN Studio Legale e Tributario in Italy. The firm maintains an office in Amsterdam.

 

Highlights  

 

In banking and finance, the firm is also notably active on multijurisdictional transactions representing both lender and borrower side of deals on structured financing, note issuance and assistance on credit facilities.   

In the M&A market, a notable highlight the firm advised Taiwan Cement Corporation (TCC) in connection with a share purchase and restructuring agreement with Ordu Yardimllasma Kurmu (OYAK). The strategic international expansion of TCC in its acquisition of OYAK reflects the firms role advising on large scale cross border acquisitions
