With from our office in Rotterdam, you’ll have the opportunity to serve both our international clients, who have permanent establishments or subsidiaries in the Netherlands, and our Dutch clients operating globally. This diverse clientele includes an American hamburger chain with locations in the Netherlands, a Mexican lemon producer that has taken the leap into the European market, and a Dutch transportation company with subsidiaries in multiple countries. Notably, Brexit has prompted many British clients to move their business to Europe. Additionally, we have clients from diverse locations such as South Africa, Germany, and the rest of Europe.
