Amsterdam—The world’s largest global law firm Dentons has strengthened its Restructuring, Insolvency and Bankruptcy practice in Amsterdam with the recruitment of partner Duco Postma. 

Duco Postma has built an excellent reputation in the Dutch market as a restructuring lawyer. He joins from Allen & Overy and has over 14 years of experience in structured finance transactions, with a focus on restructurings as well as general corporate lending, leveraged finance loans and specific asset finance. He qualified as an INSOLAD insolvency lawyer in 2017 (cum laude) and has acted for both borrowers and lenders on a wide range of domestic and cross-border deals and restructurings across various sectors including retail, real estate, shipping and automotive.

“It is with great pleasure that we welcome Duco to the team in Amsterdam,” said Benelux Managing Officer Marien Glerum. “This hire adds momentum to the Firm’s ongoing growth and development strategy and is an important step in expanding our financial restructuring offering for clients in the Netherlands and beyond.”

Duco Postma commented on his move: “I am very excited to be joining Dentons. As the world’s largest global law firm, the scale, scope, quality and speed of what our cross-border, multi-disciplinary team can deliver for clients is unprecedented. In addition, I look forward to working together with some of the most talented people in the industry and to fortify Dentons’ Restructuring practice!”

Marcel Janssen, Head of the Banking & Finance practice in the Netherlands, said: “Duco will deepen our relationships with many existing global banking clients as well as private credit funds and asset managers. His capabilities meet the uptick in client demand for complex financing solutions across different product lines and multiple jurisdictions.”

Dentons’ global Restructuring, Insolvency and Bankruptcy group brings together more than 300 lawyers around the world. Dentons provides a truly global service to clients by offering insolvency and restructuring capabilities on all matters whether they involve local, domestic or international aspects.

Since entering the Dutch market six years ago, Dentons has more than doubled the size of its Amsterdam office in terms of both revenue and headcount. The Amsterdam office currently has 104 lawyers, civil-law notaries and tax specialists.
