HVK Stevens promotes Sathees Kengatharam to tax partner
HVK Stevens has appointed a new partner and two directors in their tax practice, addressing the increasing demand for strategic tax advice in the areas of sustainability, real estate, and international transactions.
Sathees Kengatharam (38) has been appointed as a partner in the Tax practice. He primarily advises Dutch companies owned by private equity firms on their tax positions and transactions. He is specialized in structuring management and employee incentive plans. Additionally, he has significant experience advising innovative companies and utilizing fiscal arrangements such as the innovation box. His promotion underscores HVK Stevens’ ambition to expand its presence in the corporate market alongside its strong position among family-owned businesses. In addition to his work as a tax advisor, Sathees has several academic publications and served as a lecturer at Tilburg University (2021–2023).
Sandra Singh (39) and Frank van Nus (48) have been appointed as Directors Tax. Sandra advises Dutch companies on their international expansion as well as foreign companies looking to invest in the Netherlands. Her focus lies particularly on companies active in the energy transition or those contributing to a more sustainable society. We are witnessing significant developments in this area and aim to contribute to it with our expertise.
Frank began his career in the international practice but shifted his focus to domestic enterprises and high-net-worth individuals when he joined HVK Stevens in 2018. He specializes in real estate. Real estate remains an essential asset category for many of our clients, and with the necessary sustainability measures, we expect significant dynamics in this market in the coming years.
“We are extremely proud when our people grow within the firm. Sathees, Frank, and Sandra have all worked at HVK Stevens for many years and have developed distinct profiles. Each of them has built their own client portfolio and invested in their professional development. This journey is not without challenges, but the results speak for themselves!” said Managing Partners Stan Stevens and Jan Willem Schenk.
The appointment of Sathees, Sandra, and Frank contributes to our goal of delivering top-quality, tailor-made services and strengthens our position in fast-growing and dynamic markets. We are confident that their professionalism and personal approach will support HVK Stevens’ growth.
