You’ll also find the contact details of the colleagues you met in Toronto, so you can easily reconnect or continue your conversation after the conference.

From 2 – 7 November, our team is joining the IBA Annual Conference in Toronto, the leading global forum for legal professionals to exchange insights and perspectives on today’s most pressing challenges.

 

At Van Doorne, we are deeply engaged in the transitions reshaping business and society:

 

  • ESG and sustainability – navigating climate impact and corporate responsibility

 

  • Mass claims and collective redress  – resolving complex disputes across jurisdictions

 

  • Evolving regulation – responding to geopolitical shifts and the demand for resilience

 

As a full-service Dutch law firm, we integrate litigation, transactions, investigations and regulatory expertise to support clients seamlessly; combining legal excellence with a pragmatic, forward-looking mindset.

 

In times of global uncertainty and polarization, we see it as our duty to uphold the rule of law and human rights, ensuring that trust and access to justice remain safeguarded.

 

Our delegation in Toronto: Cara Pronk, Friso Foppes, Daan Beenders, Vanessa Liem, Sarah Beeston, Jasper Leedekerken and Hugo Reumkens.

 

We look forward to staying in touch – and to continuing the conversation beyond Toronto.

Partnership
Van Doorne x Van Gogh Museum

What do a museum and law firm have in common? At first glance, not that much. But in a changing era, law is an indispensable compass. Just like art and culture. These offer us guidance, but also a different view of ourselves, each other and the world around us. That is what we believe in. And that is why we partner with the Van Gogh Museum, and in particular with Vincent on Friday. During these events, together we hope to inspire and connect a new generation through the power of art and culture. For society today, but also for tomorrow.
