Auctions

Commissioned by various banks, receivers and judgment creditors, Van der Stap Notarissen supervises, as an auction notary, auctions of commercial property, homes, ships and special objects. Our seasoned auction specialists are able to successfully complete every auction quickly, professionally and in line with the latest legislation and case law. In addition, we act as party adviser to banks, receivers and judgment creditors prior to and during foreclosure and forced sale processes in which another auction notary is involved.

Corporate governance / (re)structuring legal entities

Van der Stap Notarissen is very knowledgeable and experienced in the area of the law on legal entities. Not only regarding the choice for a particular legal form, such as a Dutch public limited company (NV), private limited company (BV) or a foundation or association, but also for changing that legal form and placing a legal entity into a larger (international) whole. This practice area includes share transactions, the exchange of shares for depositary receipts, employee participation plans, (cross-border) transfers of registered offices, (cross-border) legal mergers and demergers, and cooperation agreements and shareholder agreements. Naturally, those activities take the various good governance codes into account.

NGOs and semi-public institutions

Dutch legal entities are often used by non-governmental organisations, or NGOs. We have broad experience of setting up and organising NGOs, mostly foundations. The same goes for semi-public institutions.

Property-law structures and new-build projects

Multiple land use, ground lease structures, urban redevelopment and sustainabilisation require specialist civil law notary knowledge. Van der Stap Notarissen has that knowledge and the necessary experience. We create and implement solutions for complex situations for various municipalities, developers and investors. Existing situations, redevelopment, sustainabilisation, but also new-build projects. If desired, we can also assist you in selling off individual units for new-build projects.

Transactions

The transfer of property, ships, shares and other (substantial) property rights is in good hands with us. We can assist you as a party adviser, but also, of course, as traditional independent civil law notaries.
