Chambers rankings 2026
We are proud to share that Bureau Brandeis has once again been recognised in the Chambers Europe Guide 2026.
Six of our core practice areas are ranked: Class Actions (Band 2), Intellectual Property (Band 4), Litigation (Band 4), Competition/European Law (Band 3), and both TMT Media and TMT Telecom (Band 2). This recognition confirms our strong position in the Dutch and broader European market.
In addition, our inclusion in the Chambers Global Guide reflects our growing international profile and involvement in cross-border matters.
Client feedback closely aligns with our strategy as a specialised litigation firm. Our team is described as “pragmatic, hands-on” and recognised for its ability to translate “business requirements into effective strategies when dealing with authorities”. Clients also highlight our “deep technical expertise” combined with a “highly practical, business-oriented approach”.
We are also pleased with the individual rankings of our partners. Bas Braeken is praised for his “exceptional legal acumen” and “strategic foresight” and is ranked in Band 2 for Competition/European Law. Christiaan Alberdingk Thijm is ranked in Band 3 for IP and Band 2 for TMT Media. Machteld Robichon is ranked in Band 3 for both TMT Media and TMT Telecom. Marnix Holtzer is ranked in Band 4 for Litigation.
These results reaffirm our strategic direction: building a leading litigation firm with a clear focus, deep expertise and increasing international impact. We thank our clients and business partners for their trust and for their valuable contributions to the Chambers & Partners research.
