Van Doorne

Van Doorne mainly advises defendants on class actions and mass claims in the Netherlands, covering a wide range of sectors including finance, TMT, manufacturing and energy. Other than defending public and private sector clients in large class actions, the team also spends a portion of its time assisting claimants and often acts a counsel in insurance claims. Key areas of focus include ESG claims, which are handled by practice head and class action authority Daan Beenders; competition-related follow-on claims, which are handled by Sarah Beeston; data breach and mass privacy claims, which are the forte of Elisabeth Thole; and finance-related class actions, which are handled by Ralph Ubels. Co-leading the Amsterdam-based team is Jasper Leedekerken, who has achieved a number of notable victories in class actions and is well versed in commercial and corporate litigation.
