In de zojuist door Chambers & Partners gepubliceerde Europa 2026 Guide wordt AKD opnieuw erkend als Leading Firm.
AKD kan in de editie van dit jaar bogen op 17 rankings als kantoor en 36 individuele rankings in België, Nederland en Luxemburg. We hebben onze rankings als kantoor over de hele linie gehandhaafd, en daarnaast hebben we nieuwe rankings en individuele promoties te vieren.
Opmerkelijke ontwikkelingen in onze focussectoren:
- Energy in België stijgt naar Band 1
- Voortdurende erkenning op op het hoogste niveau voor ons Healthcare-team en een nieuwe ranking voor Life Sciences in Nederland
- Real Estate en Construction verstevigen hun toch al sterke positie, met meer erkenning voor onze experts
We willen onze cliënten bedanken voor hun positieve feedback, die van onschatbare waarde is voor het behalen van deze rankings.
