Lou Berger joins Jones Day as a tax partner in Amsterdam

The global law firm Jones Day has announced that Lodewijk (Lou) Berger will join the Firm’s Amsterdam Office as a partner in the Tax Practice. He arrives from Loyens & Loeff.

Mr. Berger focuses on international taxation, particularly for multinational corporations, banks, and private equity funds. Since 1997 he has worked in New York, London, and Luxembourg. Mr. Berger is a member of the Netherlands Bar Association and the International Bar Association and a foreign member of the American Bar Association.

“Lodewijk’s arrival marks another important step forward in our growth in Amsterdam since officially opening our doors in February of this year,” said Luc Houben, Partner-in-Charge of Jones Day’s Amsterdam Office. “The Netherlands’ modern and competitive tax system is attractive to foreign investors, and therefore high quality tax advisors are important to providing our clients with full service capabilities. Lodewijk’s international tax experience is precisely what we need for our new Amsterdam Office.”

“I am delighted to be joining Jones Day’s Tax Practice and to being part of what will become one of the leading practices in Amsterdam. The international tax landscape is facing major changes and increased complexity and I am looking forward to being able to assist clients in mastering these changes with a truly integrated global team of leading tax lawyers,” said Mr. Berger.

Mr. Berger’s arrival comes on the heels of Jones Day Amsterdam’s move into its new office space in the Museumplein, in April.
