Bird & Bird boosts Finance & Financial Regulation practice with arrival of new partner Andries Doets in the Netherlands

International law firm Bird & Bird today strengthens its Finance & Financial Regulation practice in the Netherlands with the hire of new partner, Andries Doets, in The Hague.

With over 20 years’ experience, Andries advises businesses and financial institutions on a wide range of matters concerning Dutch and European financial regulation and transactions including domestic and cross-border acquisitions.

Following the recent hire of finance partners Floor van Heijst (Amsterdam), Federico Del Monte and Corrado Fiscale (both Milan), Andries’ arrival is a key part of the strategic growth of Bird & Bird’s international Finance & Financial Regulation practice across the Bird & Bird network.
