Commercial litigation and class actions

Brinkhof represents leading technology companies in complex civil litigation going to the heart of their business. We handle matters involving various issues including allegations of competition law infringement, privacy and data protection issues, and liability of internet intermediaries. These cases often call for a multi-disciplinary approach. This is exactly what Brinkhof offers, with renowned subject matter experts acting alongside seasoned civil litigators. We have ample subject matter expertise in the fields most relevant to our clients, as well as in house knowledge and experience in determining the best procedural strategy and regarding procedural issues, such as the Dutch class action regime (the WAMCA), international jurisdiction and applicable law.

Our attorneys have extensive experience coordinating these cases with international or local firms in other jurisdictions. We are equally at ease setting out an international strategy as we are translating that strategy into an approach that will resonate with the Dutch courts.

Supreme Court litigation

Brinkhof also has a Supreme Court litigation practice. Partner Jan Pot has acted in over a dozen cases before the Supreme Court of the Netherlands, and has never lost defending a case before the Supreme Court. Our Supreme Court practice covers all aspects of IP, tech and media law, including patent law, trademarks and designs, privacy and data protection, and internet intermediary liability.
