Financial Law
Financial institutions are experiencing challenging times. Due, in part, to the growing claims culture, the current economic climate, the ongoing development of the duty of care and the increasing focus on ESG, European consumer law, integrity policies and pensions, financial institutions are more often being confronted with legal proceedings. Our Financial & Insolvency Litigation team has the expertise to relieve financial institutions' burdens in these times.   

Our area of expertise  

Our Financial & Insolvency Litigation team has been assisting banks, insurers, pension institutions and other financial service providers with a wide range of complex civil disputes for many years. The team also acts for national and international companies in extensive restructuring and insolvency proceedings, including, increasingly, those under the WHOA (Court Approval of a Private Composition (Prevention of Insolvency) Act). The team has in-depth knowledge and a proven track record in (financial) liability law, financial law, the (banking) duty of care, bankruptcy law and attachment and enforcement law. In addition, the team has extensive knowledge of the conduct of business obligations that investment firms and payment service providers have, European consumer law, mortgage and consumer credit, prospectus liability, cryptocurrencies and sustainability legislation.   

Our role  

The role we fulfil for our clients is not only to keep up with the changes in the fast-changing field of Financial & Insolvency Litigation, but to serve our clients proactively and integrally in all areas of our profession.  In that context, we advise our clients on disputes/impending disputes and their prevention, and we represent them in court or arbitration proceedings. The team also acts for national and international companies in extensive enforcement proceedings and restructuring and insolvency proceedings, including, increasingly, those under the WHOA (Court Approval of a Private Composition (Prevention of Insolvency) Act). We also advise on current and future financial regulations and developments in case law and the associated (liability) risks for our clients.  

 Van Doorne has a loyal client base that includes banks, insurers, pension funds and other financial service providers. They value our firm for its clear advice and strategic litigation insights.
