Vink & Partners Legal and Tax

What Vink & Partners Legal and Tax does

Vink & Partners Legal and Tax is a privately held Amsterdam-based law and tax advisory firm (operating as Vink & Partners B.V. under Dutch law) founded in 1990 by Klaus Vink. The firm offers an integrated practice combining lawyers (advocaten), lawyer-tax specialists (advocaat-belastingkundigen), and tax advisors (belastingadviseurs) to serve both (international) companies and high-net-worth individuals. Service lines span Dutch and international tax law, tax litigation, corporate and real estate law, rental and labor law, criminal tax law, estate and inheritance planning, and voluntary disclosure of undisclosed foreign assets (inkeerregeling). The firm also operates a dedicated Israel Desk addressing Dutch–Israeli cross-border matters including Aliyah emigration.

The firm is a small professional services practice — the team consists of three named professionals (Klaus Vink as senior partner/founder, Sjaron Vink as advocaat-belastingkundige, and Ruud van Gogh as belastingadviseur/administrateur), with headcount listed at five. Revenue is generated on a professional-services basis (per-engagement fees; no public pricing), delivered via direct client engagement from its single Amsterdam office at De Lairessestraat 90-2R. The firm has no proprietary technology products and no disclosed AI, funding, or institutional ownership.

Go-to-market is built on individual practitioner reputation, media visibility (notably Klaus Vink's recurring appearances on the Dutch national TV program Business Class hosted by Harry Mens), referrals, and website news/blog content covering fiscal and legal developments. Distribution is direct-to-client with no intermediaries. The firm maintains a multilingual website (Dutch, English, German, Hebrew) supporting an international client orientation, while the operational footprint remains a single Amsterdam location. The firm is actively recruiting entrepreneurial lawyers and tax advisors into a cost-sharing model, which functions as its primary growth lever.
