About Stek Finance /

We are skilled in documenting complex financing arrangements in a clear way, for both domestic and international clients

As a leading team of finance lawyers in the Netherlands, we advise on complex finance transactions with specialist expertise in key areas. Our finance practice covers the full range of domestic and cross-border financing arrangements and accommodates both lenders and borrowers. 

Expertise

The Stek finance team has extensive experience in structuring and documenting domestic and cross-border financings, both for lenders and borrowers. Working in small, dedicated teams that always provide partner-led service, we handle complex finance transactions. 

Our years of specialist expertise and hands-on pragmatic approach make us the go-to firm for finance transactions, including:

  • acquisition finance;
  • project finance (focusing specifically on (renewable) energy and digital infrastructure);
  • general corporate lending;
  • real estate finance (with a focus on leisure, including hotel financings);
  • financing in the healthcare sector (hospital financings); and
  • asset-based finance transactions.

Most of our team members are also part of the firm’s integrated multidisciplinary sector teams, joining forces with lawyers from other practice groups to advise clients in specific sectors, such as M&A, (renewable) energy and aviation.

Our Restructuring and Insolvency team is the go-to partner for any matters related to restructuring and insolvency. Please click here for more information about our practice.

Top-tier specialist with a hands-on, proactive and business-focused approach

The team not only has the expertise to act on significant cases of a scale and complexity often associated with larger firms, but they do so in a manner unique to Stek. This means ensuring that:

  • the senior lawyers (partner or counsel) stay actively involved from start to finish
  • transactions are staffed appropriately (usually not more than two to three lawyers per transaction)
  • we meet timelines
  • we deliver value for money

Feedback from our clients shows that they appreciate our pragmatic advice which enables them to focus on key items; and equally important to us: they also like working with us.

As the sole Dutch ‘boutique firm’ on the panel of the major Dutch banks and as a trusted advisor of many large corporates, private equity houses and sponsor-held portfolio companies, we help our clients with a pro-active, pragmatic and business focused approach.
