What NautaDutilh does

NautaDutilh is an international law firm that practices exclusively Dutch, Belgian, and Luxembourg law, operating across six offices in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels, Luxembourg, London, and New York. The firm is structured as multiple discrete legal entities — NautaDutilh N.V. (Dutch public limited company; corporate seat Rotterdam), NautaDutilh BV/SRL (Belgium), NautaDutilh Avocats Luxembourg S.à r.l., NautaDutilh UK (partnership), and NautaDutilh New York P.C. — with lawyers, civil law notaries, and tax advisers operating under each entity. Founded in 1724 per firmographics, it reports a headcount band of 501-1,000.

The firm's offering is built around four service categories — Advisory, Transactional, Dispute Resolution, and Regulatory — and is delivered across practice areas including Corporate/M&A, Capital Markets, Banking & Finance, Real Estate & Infrastructure, Employment & Pensions, Tax, IP, Competition, Sustainability/ESG, Arbitration, and Litigation. Sectors served include Financial Institutions, Private Equity, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Technology/Media/Telecom, Energy, Pensions, Family-owned businesses, and Investment Funds, with newly elevated "Global Impact Areas" in Defence & National Security, Energy Transition & Infrastructure, and Technology. The London office provides Dutch-law services to UK clients (not English law), and the New York office provides Dutch and Dutch Caribbean law as a registered foreign professional service corporation.

Revenue is generated on a professional-services model: fees are agreed per engagement with corporate, institutional, and PE clients, billed monthly with 30-day payment terms (shorter or longer intervals negotiable), and supplemented by a 6% office surcharge plus disbursements and VAT. There is no publicly disclosed revenue. Distribution is direct enterprise engagement via the firm's six offices, supported by thought-leadership content, newsletters, and sector events. The firm is privately held with partnership ownership and no external institutional investment disclosed.
