About Sebastiaan Moolenaar
Sebastiaan Moolenaar is a trade and transport attorney-at-law and partner at AKD who specialises in international trade. Sebastiaan advises on and litigates commercial contracts up and down the supply chain.
Sebastiaan's clients are international entities with cross-border distribution or agency networks. He also assists commodities traders and foreign companies that wish to set up base in the Netherlands to sell their products or services throughout Europe.
Globally operating companies rely on Sebastiaan to advise them on trade compliance (export control, sanctions, AML) and supply chain due diligence, and to provide assistance whenever private parties (creditors, lenders, logistics service providers) or government authorities (through export controls, sanctions, customs enforcement) cause value chain disruptions.
International commerce calls for insight into international developments that affect the business community, and for specialist, multidisciplinary knowledge of the constantly evolving transnational trade patterns. Companies operating in this environment face a broad range of legal issues, such as contract negotiation and drafting, terminating (continuing performance) contracts, and settling trade disputes through arbitration or litigation. With a pragmatic approach and a keen eye for commercial relationships and interests, Sebastiaan provides the assistance they need.
