"Kennedy Van der Laan's TMT practice remains robust,
despite the departure of Coen Drion for the Supreme Court. Recent
IT work has included developing an automated drafting tool for
purchasing agreements for Allianz, a worldwide data protection
project for ING, and the introduction of an ERP system for
NedTrain. It also continues to act for long-standing client
Microsoft. On the telecoms side, the lawyers represented UPC in its
appeal against decisions by OPTA. In media, the team advised
newspapers De Volksrant and Het Parool on contentious matters, and
represented Greenpeace and other clients in litigation against
Trafigura. Other media clients include MTV Networks BV, Endemol and
Radio 538."
Sources say: "Its lawyers are really clever and know what
they are talking about." "The firm has an excellent name
for IT and a well-deserved reputation at the top."
Key individuals:
Patrick Wit heads the IT department and is recognised as an
outsourcing specialist who also has expertise in
telecommunications. Hester De Vries is "one of the biggest
names in privacy and data protection," say sources. She took
the lead on work for Trans Link Systems on a data protection
project relating to e-ticketing for public transport. Joost
Linnemann is the firm's managing partner and among the best IT
lawyers in the Netherlands, peers say. Jens van den Brink is making
a name for himself as an expert in freedom-of-speech issues.
