Legal opinions are widely used in international transactions to get a clear picture of the relevant matters of local law for both domestic and foreign clients. Our lawyers frequently render legal opinions on:

• the due establishment of legal entities involved;
• whether any of these entities has been declared bankrupt;
• if the appropriate corporate action is taken to enter in to the transaction; and
• the enforceability of the agreements and the security rights involved.

In the legal opinion, our lawyers also clarify the Dutch law on the key legal issues of the deal.

In the lawyer's letter, the lawyer states the significant litigation which is pending or expected for a client. The financial accountant of the client uses this lawyer's letter in the preparation of the financial statements of the company.
