Seven lawyers joined the Taylor Wessing Corporate / M&A team. Partner Antony Jonkman, Counsel Marnix Geraerts and Associates Nina Le Grand, Tessa Giltay, Daniël Soons, Lisa-Laura Teunissen and Jeroen Vollebergh expand the Amsterdam-based team of Taylor Wessing. 

Managing Partner Marc van Gelder: We are extremely pleased with the arrival of our new colleagues. Antony and Marnix head an experienced team that combines in-depth expertise of (the rapidly increasing asset class) Venture Capital and M&A. Their strong reputation, excellent network and cross-border operations make them an excellent match for Taylor Wessing. Our international Venture Capital team is recognised as one of the strongest in Europe by Legal500 and Chambers, among others. Last year, we advised in more than 1,000 deals in the Tech, Real Estate & Energy and Life Sciences & Healthcare sectors in particular. The team's knowledge, experience and drive are thus a valuable addition to our existing practice both nationally and internationally.  

A great step for the ambitious team. Taylor Wessing's extensive Corporate / M&A and Venture Capital team consists of specialised lawyers and civil-law notaries, focuses on innovative businesses and is renowned worldwide. With our track record in the field of innovative Tech and Life Sciences projects in particular (from start-ups to unicorns), combining our mutual strengths is a logical step. A classic 1+1=3 scenario, very positive for all stakeholders, but first of all for our clients. We therefore look forward to taking on this challenge, pushing our boundaries and assisting a growing group of successful investors, ventures and corporates in their transactions.”
