Empowering Indian companies to thrive in the Netherlands and across Europe

BUREN's India Desk is dedicated to facilitating Indian enterprises seeking to strengthen their strategic position in the Netherlands and across Europe. We provide integrated, top-tier legal and tax services, supporting leading Indian companies in achieving their international objectives.

The Netherlands serves as a premier gateway to the European market. An increasing number of Indian businesses select the Netherlands as their location of choice or as a strategic hub for their European operations. These enterprises require in-depth, reliable, and proactive guidance when establishing a local entity, structuring cross-border investments, and ensuring compliance within the complex European regulatory framework. For Indian companies with existing European operations, access to high-calibre Dutch legal and tax expertise is equally critical.

BUREN has assembled a multidisciplinary India Desk team comprising seasoned lawyers, tax advisors, and civil-law notaries. Our team is sensitive to Indian business culture and maintains enduring relationships with Indian enterprises, their in-house legal departments, and external advisors in both India and Europe. We have significant experience supporting companies across key industries including pharmaceuticals, technology, manufacturing, logistics, and renewable energy.

We collaborate with reputable Indian law firms and service providers and are actively engaged with prominent business networks. BUREN's India Desk acts as a robust legal and cultural bridge between Indian companies and their Dutch or European stakeholders.

We assist with the specific challenges Indian businesses face when expanding to Europe, including FDI approval processes, repatriation of profits, and navigating Indian regulatory frameworks in the European context.

Our services include:

  • Corporate law: company formation, group structuring, governance and cross-border joint ventures
  • Mergers & acquisitions: legal due diligence, deal structuring and transaction execution
  • Tax law: international tax structuring, transfer pricing, VAT and treaty planning
  • Employment law: hiring, dismissals, employee secondments and compliance
  • Commercial contracts: drafting and reviewing cross-border contracts and general terms
  • Dispute resolution: litigation, arbitration and enforcement in cross-border matters
  • Restructuring & insolvency: rescue operations, debt restructuring, financial restructuring
  • Regulatory: GDPR, sanctions, FDI regulations and sector-specific compliance

We've advised several leading Indian companies on their European expansion, including prominent firms across various sectors. Our longstanding relationships with Indian and European partners provide the confidence and peer validation that Indian decision-makers value in relationship-driven business.

By combining our legal and tax expertise and business drivers, BUREN empowers Indian enterprises to excel with confidence in the European business landscape.
