Seminar - The Stibbe Annual Competition Update will take place on 23 January 2020 at our office in Amsterdam.

Articles - What impact - if any - does local common law in your jurisdiction have on real estate? Do scenarios exist where the right to land diverges from the right to a building constructed upon that land? How can real estate lenders seek to protect themselves from borrower default? And are there any other regulatory measures which aim to improve the sustainability of both newly-constructed and existing buildings? 

Articles - On 1 January 2020, the mandatory provisions of the Code for Companies and Associations or "BCAC" entered into force. This article provides an overview of the main characteristics of the most commonly used unregulated real estate vehicles in Belgium (the regulated real estate vehicles are part of a separate publication that will be published shortly). It does not intend to provide a complete overview of all unregulated investment vehicles available, but it does give insight into the main characteristics of the most commonly used investment vehicles in Belgium.

Articles - Het toenemende aantal zzp'ers heeft ook mededingingsrechtelijke gevolgen.

Jan Truijens Martinez en Simone Evans bespreken in het Tijdschrift voor Arbeidsrecht in Context hoe eventuele belemmeringen die het mededingingsrecht opwerpt bij de bescherming van zzp'ers kunnen worden beperkt en of het mededingingsrecht eigenlijk wel het juiste instrument daarvoor is?
