What we do

Strategy

Doing business in the financial sector involves working at the interface of markets and governments. We help you devise strategic solutions to allow you to operate successfully and within the rules. We provide you with legal assistance throughout the process, advise on the risks and opportunities, and provide support in complex structuring/restructuring operations and in crisis situations.

  • Dealing with new developments, such as Brexit
  • Complex structuring/restructuring operations, drawing up funding structures and refinancing
  • Risk and compliance
  • Dealing with threats, insolvencies, restructuring operations and liquidations
  • Supervising licence applications, Statements of No Objection and communications with supervisory authorities such as the AFM (Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets) and DNB (Dutch Central Bank)
  • Supervising investigations and enforcement measures
  • Assessing the impact of new regulations
  • Cooperating with intermediaries, franchisees and other stakeholders
  • Disputes, litigation and complaint settlement
  • “Since a couple of years VGZ has been working intensively with FIZ advocaten. Typical of that collaboration is FIZ advocaten’s professional support and advice, which have strong roots in their in-depth understanding and insight into VGZ’s strategic considerations and interests of the one part and today’s realistic operational requirements and practice of the other. VGZ has no use for carefully phrased theoretical advice. What VGZ needs is practical and discerning support that focuses on VGZ’s business processes and reputation. On an ongoing basis FIZ advocaten helps VGZ reconcile practice and theory by operationalising the exodus, and by giving practical advice on how to modify business processes. FIZ does not simply dole out instructions, but gives advice in a pleasant and professional open atmosphere in which both sides learn from each other and encourage each other to always create optimum services for our clients. And last but not least: FIZ works at highly competitive rates that are hard to rival."
