 June 10, 2015 | News | BE Law

"The changing world of real estate demands also in the legal world for innovation, internationalisation and a different pricing structure. The way AKD innovates and teams up with clients and other service providers, both at home in Holland as well as abroad, is impressive."

The renowned real estate notary Taco de Lange and his team are moving to join AKD lawyers and civil-law notaries. Taco de Lange's arrival is characteristic of AKD's ambition and growth strategy, in particular in the field of real estate and internationalisation.

With 75 real estate lawyers and notaries AKD already has one of the largest legal real estate teams in the Netherlands. Driven by innovation, that growth is continuing.

Taco's team specialises in real estate and regional development. Focusing on those aspects the team deals, both internationally and nationally, with transactions, joint ventures, regeneration projects, infrastructure, financing, risk analyses and legal form. In these projects they act for, among others, leading international and national institutional and private parties, governments and family (investment) firms.

Taco and his team will operate from AKD's Amsterdam office, located in The Edge, the most sustainable office building in the world.
