The finance and capital markets offering from NautaDutilh ‘goes directly to the essence’ of matters ranging from corporate lending, acquisition finance, and asset-based lending, to both equity and debt capital markets. Thibaut Willems, head of the banking and finance practice, is recommended for his skills as a dealmaker and has notable experience in project finance. Philippe Remels is the go-to for capital markets, with extensive experience in regulated markets, and this offering was bolstered in September 2024 with the addition of Ivan Peeters from Hogan Lovells. Nicolas de Crombrugghe departed the team in April 2024.
