Maarten Stoop

Partner, Amsterdam

Maarten works as partner from the Amsterdam office and advises clients on a wide range of corporate and commercial matters, both in contentious and non-contentious contexts.

His practice includes complex commercial and corporate disputes, cross-border transactions and advisory work, with particular experience in matters involving international trade relationships. He is also active across the full range of economic sanctions and export controls matters.
