Is your organization facing a request for information, an investigation, or a (proposed) fine from the regulator? If so, a swift, well-considered response is crucial. We assist you from the very first request for information or the start of the investigation through to any (appeal) proceedings before the administrative court. In determining the strategy, we carefully consider the potential impact on your business operations and your reputation.

We represent clients in administrative enforcement proceedings across various sectors, including the digital sector, media, telecommunications, and gambling, as well as financial services.

What We Do

• Information Requests and Investigations
• Fines, orders subject to a penalty, warnings, or directives
  • by regulators such as the Media Authority (Commissariaat voor de Media), the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (Autoriteit Consument & Markt), the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens), the Netherlands Gambling Authority (Kansspelautoriteit), the National Inspectorate for Digital Infrastructure (Rijksinspectie Digitale Infrastructuur; “RDI”), the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (Autoriteit Financiële Markten), and De Nederlandsche Bank
  • at all stages: submission of a statement of views, objection, (higher) appeal, and preliminary relief
• Publication and protection of confidential business information (including under the Open Government Act (Wet open overheid; “Woo”)) by administrative bodies
