Amsterdam, 3 April 2025 – AKD welcomes Jan-Willem Raadgever as a partner in the real estate practice at its Amsterdam office. Alongside him, Jip Post is also joining AKD. Jip specialises in real estate development and brings additional expertise for both Dutch and international investors and developers. With their combined experience in real estate development, construction law, and procurement law, they strengthen AKD’s position in the sector and provide valuable support to clients who are active in or looking to enter the Dutch market.
The real-estate sector is evolving rapidly. New regulations, risk management and strategic choices in large-scale projects require a well-thought-out approach. Jan-Willem understands the challenges that international parties face when entering the Dutch market. In addition to a sharp focus on the legal aspects, he also helps his clients make smart strategic decisions, ensuring that their projects are not only successfully launched but also future-proof.
"At AKD, I have the opportunity to apply my experience within a dynamic and ambitious team," says Jan-Willem Raadgever. "Many international parties see opportunities in the Netherlands but struggle with strict regulations and procedures. I assist them not only in overcoming these hurdles but also in establishing a stronger, long-term presence in this market. With its full-service expertise, scale, knowledge and experience, AKD enables me to support my clients even more effectively and comprehensively."
