International Corporate Law Firm Across Four Jurisdictions

WVT advises multinationals, private equity sponsors and family offices on corporate law across the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland and the United States under one integrated bench.

Corporate Law Across Four Connected Jurisdictions

Our attorneys and tax advisors work in parallel across the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland and the United States. One coordinated team handles M&A, restructurings, governance and cross-border transactions where most firms hand off between national counsel.

Integrated Legal and Tax Bench

North American multinationals operating in Europe rely on WVT for cross-border reorganisations, demergers, inversions and divestitures that touch Dutch holdcos, Luxembourg SOPARFIs and Swiss operating entities simultaneously. Our attorneys close the deal; our tax advisors structure the result. This matters when transactions span Pillar Two filings, ATAD 3 substance tests and Swiss cantonal rulings in the same week. Single-jurisdiction firms cannot deliver this; we built our practice around it.

Our expertise

WVT focuses on three integrated practice areas serving Fortune 500 multinationals, mid-market private equity sponsors and family offices: corporate legal work, international tax advisory and cross-border transaction coordination. Our attorneys and tax advisors operate from offices in the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Switzerland and partner with US counsel on inbound and outbound deals.

Legal Services

Mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and corporate reorganisations including migrations, demergers and inversions. Our attorneys also advise on capital raising, public bids, shareholder disputes, anti-takeover defence, corporate governance and complex commercial contracts for listed and privately held multinational groups.

Tax Advisory

Cross-border tax structuring, M&A tax planning, ATAD 3 and Pillar Two compliance, DAC6 reporting, transfer pricing and tax ruling negotiation with the Belastingdienst, Luxembourg authorities and Swiss cantonal administrations. Our tax advisors handle audits, voluntary disclosures and recurring corporate tax obligations for multinational groups.

Cross-Border Service

Single-team coordination across the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland and the United States. WVT structures cross-border holding companies, fund vehicles, transatlantic subsidiary networks and intra-group financing arrangements without the friction of bridging four separate national firms.

FAQ's

What does WVT do that single-jurisdiction corporate law firms cannot?
Single-jurisdiction firms hand off across borders, which adds delay, cost and translation risk between counsel. WVT runs Dutch, Luxembourg and Swiss corporate work from one integrated bench and coordinates US matters with established partner firms. Clients receive one set of advice rather than three competing memos that need reconciling. This matters most on cross-border restructurings and group-level governance changes.
WVT’s clients are typically Fortune 500 multinationals with European operations, mid-market private equity sponsors structuring portfolio companies across Europe, and family offices managing multi-jurisdictional holding structures. We also advise listed companies on shareholder disputes, public bids and governance matters, and inbound US investors setting up European subsidiary networks.
Most WVT engagements involve both. Cross-border M&A, restructurings and substance reviews require legal documentation and tax structuring to be drafted in parallel, not in sequence. Our attorneys and tax advisors share the file from day one, which avoids the gaps that appear when separate firms produce separate workstreams. This integrated model is core to how WVT operates.
Yes. Multi-jurisdictional matters are WVT’s normal mode of work, not the exception. Recent transactions have spanned Dutch BV restructurings, Luxembourg SOPARFI substance reviews, Swiss cantonal ruling negotiations and US subsidiary realignment within a single engagement. One partner team owns the file end-to-end, which materially reduces coordination cost for the in-house counsel running the project.
WVT competes on integration depth rather than headcount. The Magic Circle handle large-cap deals through national silos; the Big Four advisory arms separate legal from tax for regulatory reasons. WVT’s structural advantage is that legal and tax sit in the same firm, in the same matter team, across all four jurisdictions. For mid-cap and complex cross-border work, this matters more than scale.

WVT advises across four jurisdictions through one integrated team.
