Today's world is global and practically all transactions are cross-border. For S&A, being a European law firm means that the European Union is our home jurisdiction — and the rest of the world our oyster.
We advise and assist clients based in the EU who invest within and outside the EU, as well as clients based outside the EU who invest in the EU.
Today's world is also local: it is essential to understand clients' constraints arising out of the jurisdiction(s) where they operate, which are often outside those where we are registered. Not only do we work closely with their local advisors but, just as importantly, we endeavour to understand local practices and cultural differences.
We are physically implanted in three major European jurisdictions and, all together, we are fluent in Dutch, English, French and German.
