Netherlands financial markets legal update

This year's update took place as a webinar series from 29 June to 3 July.

We hosted a week of daily webinars (9-10am CEST), covering a range of topics relevant to the financial sector.

Our keynote speakers Hans de Boer, from VNO NCW, Iris van de Looij, from DUFAS and Eelco Dubbeling, from NVB kicked off the week with a panel discussion covering the COVID-19 pandemic and the financial sector.
