What Van Campen Liem does

Van Campen Liem is a privately-held boutique law firm founded in 2012, headquartered in Amsterdam with a second office in Luxembourg. The firm provides integrated legal, regulatory, tax, and notarial services across seven practice areas: Investment Funds, Corporate, M&A, Private Equity & Venture Capital, Tax, Notarial Services, and Regulatory & Compliance. Its core differentiator is a structural integration model in which Dutch civil law notaries are also practicing corporate lawyers, enabling fully coordinated advice on transactions where notarial formalities and corporate law intersect.

The firm is a joint venture between two Dutch operating entities, Van Campen & Partners N.V. and Liem & Partners N.V., trading under the joint name Van Campen Liem, with Luxembourg services delivered through wholly-owned subsidiary Van Campen Liem Luxembourg S.à r.l. It employs more than 60 lawyers, fiscalists, and notaries in the Netherlands and 30 fee earners in Luxembourg, with over 35 professionals dedicated to its asset management practice. Revenue is generated through professional-services engagements billed on a time and complexity basis, with no public pricing disclosure. The firm explicitly targets long-term client relationships over project-by-project work and counts several Fortune 500 clients among relationships exceeding 20 years.

The client base is concentrated in alternative asset managers, PE/VC sponsors, and growth-stage companies, with visible mandates spanning Khosla Ventures, Tiger Global, Hg Capital, Hollyport Capital, AnaCap, the European Investment Fund, uniQure, and Getaround. The firm is licensed and registered with the Dutch Bar Association, the Royal Dutch Organisation for Civil Law Notaries, the Dutch Association of Tax Advisers, and the Luxembourg Bar Council. Marketing is conducted primarily through professional reputation, the firm website, LinkedIn, and Chambers Global/Europe directory recognition, with no evidence of productized technology, APIs, or proprietary AI tooling.
