On September, 10th, we had the pleasure of getting together for our « Evenement de la Rentrée », which took place in the beautiful Amsterdam office of Loyens & Loeff.

The key words of the evening were : Europe & Network.
The evening started with a captivating conference led by Harmen van Dam, International Tax Partner and Menno Baks, Attorney at Law and member of the Corporate Practice Group from Loyens & Loeff.
They presented recent legislative developments in Europe, focusing on the increasing complexity of EU rules and the impact of new tax regulations on businesses, SMEs and financial markets. Their presentation provided us with crucial insights in navigating the European legislative landscape.
Then, Stefan de Vries, a renowned journalist specialized in European affairs, took the floor to comment on the recent European elections and what he calls the ‘’Election Super Year’’. He highlighted the steady rise of the far right (with no radical change) and analyzed the current political challenges in France and Europe. He discussed trends in investment and economic competitiveness, highlighting the attractiveness of the Netherlands and other European regions. Stefan also discussed the need for a more open immigration policy to meet Europe's economic and demographic needs.
After these enriching presentations, the evening continued with a networking cocktail. This convivial occasion gave participants, key players from different European markets, the opportunity to meet, exchange ideas and strengthen their professional connections.
We would like to extend our warmest thanks to Loyens & Loeff for their hospitality and support in organizing this event.
