NautaDutilh is an independent law firm practicing Dutch, Belgian and Luxembourg law. NautaDutilh is one of the largest law firms in Europe, with over 400 lawyers, civil law notaries and tax advisers in offices in Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Luxembourg, New York and Rotterdam. The firm's lengthy and illustrious history dates back to 1724.
NautaDutilh's core practice areas are corporate, banking and financial law, but it is also widely known for its expertise in the areas of tax, intellectual property, competition and antitrust law, telecoms and media, commercial property and insurance. Throughout its history, NautaDutilh has been instrumental in a number of landmark deals. For instance, in 1795, the firm was involved in loan negotiations between Dutch bankers and representatives of the US government to finance for the rebuilding and expansion of Washington DC.
The firm's partners have a long-standing tradition of public service and many hold academic appointments. In 1903, NautaDutilh hired the first female lawyer in the Netherlands, Adolphine Kok. Over the years, the firm has produced entrepreneurs, politicians and even a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize (Tobias Asser, 1838-1913).
