On November 13, 2018, in collaboration with PwC Israel, we hosted the sixth installment of our roundtable series, “Doing Business Globally,” with a breakfast discussion on the legal and tax issues that arise when investing in the Netherlands. This exclusive event was geared towards companies and investors that are already doing business in the Netherlands or are considering doing so, and featured Joris Willems, Sander Wiggers and Michiel Coenraads, partners in our Amsterdam office.
We were privileged to be joined by Ella Rosenberg, VP Business Development of Israel-Netherlands Chamber of Commerce and Industry, who opened the discussion with an overview of the current business arena in the Netherlands and the growing relationship between Israel and the Netherlands; followed by our colleagues Joris Willems, Sander Wiggers and Michiel Coenraads, who discussed business and legal considerations of doing business in the Netherlands; ; after which Ron Mazurik and Rafi Ganz of PwC Israel gave an overview of the Netherlands’ tax environment; and Monique Foudraine, Project Manager of Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA) closed the program with a discussion about how NFIA can assist companies looking to do business in the Netherlands.
