Loyens & Loeff

Loyens & Loeff is the second of the top three European law firms with a wide range of tax practices. Founded in 2000 by the merger of tax consultant Loyens & Volkmaars and law firm Loeff Claeys Verbeke, it still employs numerous non-legal tax consultants today. In total, about a quarter of our employees specialize in tax law or consulting.

The company traces its history from the moment it was founded to separate departments in Rotterdam and Amsterdam.

Loyens & Loeff's revenue and number of employees have fluctuated in recent years, peaking in 2014, then increasing in 2015, declining slightly in 2016, and then recovering again in 2017 and 2018. Nevertheless, it remains one of the largest independent European countries. A company both in terms of number of employees and revenue.

Taxation is Loyens & Loeff's biggest area of practice, but corporate governance follows immediately. However, the company offers full services and small finance, litigation and real estate teams. Loyens & Loeff has seven offices outside the Benelux region, in addition to three Dutch bases in Brussels and Luxembourg. He is not a member of any network.
