Team
valbeek is a team of experts. For each transaction, an individually tailored team of experienced partners and associates is put together to provide our clients with optimal legal, strategic and tactical advice in all transaction phases.
As an independent specialist law firm, we have an established and well-integrated network of leading national and international experts in all areas of law not offered by us, as well as highly qualified advisors and experts in all other fields of advice required for the successful execution of a transaction, including tax, commercial and insurance advisors.

We advise on traditional private M&A transactions, especially in the small and mid-cap sector (in particular on buy and sell mandates of family-owned and private companies) as well as private equity transactions, venture capital transactions, joint ventures, reorganizations of the shareholder structure or succession planning. In addition, we advise on public M&A transactions, in the defense against hostile public takeover bids, on the entry into listed companies (PIPE transactions) or on transactions in which listed companies are delisted from the stock exchange (Going Private).
