We are proud to announce that HVG Law has appoin­ted Arnout Rodewijk, Joram van den Berg, and Robin de Wit as Part­ners from with­in its own ranks as of July 1, 2024. These well-deserved pro­mo­tions are the dir­ect res­ult of their relent­less ded­ic­a­tion to our cli­ents, their teams, and the office. Robin and Arnout are homegrown part­ners, and Joram has also been act­ive for HVG Law for many years. With the appoint­ments of Arnout, Joram, and Robin, we not only strengthen the lead­er­ship of our organ­iz­a­tion but also solid­i­fy the prac­tices in which they have been appoin­ted, namely Cor­por­ate Restruc­tur­ing & Reor­gan­iz­a­tions, Cor­por­ate M&A, and Insolv­ency & Restruc­tur­ing.

We con­grat­u­late them whole­heartedly and wish Robin, Arnout, and Joram every suc­cess in their new role!

“I am par­tic­u­larly pleased with these appoint­ments. This is an import­ant step for our office and the strength­en­ing of these key prac­tice groups. I am con­vinced that Joram, Arnout, and Robin will bring a lot to their new roles and wish them every suc­cess!”
