"Clients flock to this practice because in the words of one
source, its lawyers are "more focused on us than bigger
firms and give us more partner attention." Although it is
smaller than some of its competitors, it offers a wade array of
services from merger control filings to administrative fine
proceedings. It is also often a first point of contact for foreign
companies entering the Dutch market and looking for general
counselling on the national competition laws.

Regulatory
The regulatory practice group of Kennedy Van der Laan focuses on
a wide range of governmental regulation of society and business.
Regulation of specific market sectors and commercial activities
affects a growing number of areas of business - .
telecommunications, media, energy, financial markets and health
care.
The EU and Dutch competition authorities also closely regulate
all sorts of commercial transactions and practices, business
concentrations and cooperation forms, and business practices of
companies which are market leaders. Our
EU and competition/antitrust practice addresses these areas,
always conscious of the frequent overlap with sector-specific
market regulation.
The Dutch privacy regulations and the actions of the Privacy
Authority have an impact on all businesses and government, both
traditional and online. Our
privacy practice advices business and government, including the
Dutch Privacy Authority itself, on all aspects of privacy law and
policy.
Our regulatory practice is integrated in each of the market
sectors in which regulatory advice and litigation are most called
upon -
telecommunications,
media,
energy,
health care, financial institutions, and
construction and project development. Regulatory expertise is
equally indispensable to our
corporate transactions practice where regulatory approval can
be key to the success of the deal.
