About our 
expertise

At every stage in the life cycle of a business, from start-up, growth and consolidation to sale or handover to the next generation, the (deputy) civil-law notaries of Holdinga Matthijssen Kraak are trusted and experienced advisers. With adequate knowledge and forward-looking advice, they assist entrepreneurs, national and international companies and corporates. HMK adds value in the event of restructurings, employee participation, financing rounds, investments and mergers or acquisitions. Because HMK assists entrepreneurs for a longer period of time, there is a relationship of trust and the civil-law notary grows along with the company.

The real estate sector is always evolving. The stakes are often high and the regulations subject to change. That is why high-quality legal assistance is essential in real estate transactions and project development.

Real estate transactions and property development, business growth and corporate investments and (inter)national acquisitions are often financed by loan capital. We advise both the lender and the borrower on the most suitable form of financing.

Family businesses have their own dynamics. That is why it is all the more important to document matters properly so that everyone is prepared for the future and for different scenarios. HMK regularly assists family businesses and companies with a director/major shareholder.

The specialists in the Non-profit & Charities team have extensive knowledge of the pension sector and experience providing legal advice to pension funds. They regularly advise clients in collaboration with other pension law advisers on pension fund governance, amendments of the articles of association for pension funds and other pension-related topics. Holdinga Matthijssen Kraak wants to contribute to our society. On the one hand by assisting charities and good causes, and on the other by being socially involved ourselves. HMK provides guidance to a great many charities, good causes and foundations.
