Structuring and legal support for multinationals
Robust financing structures for international companies
For multinationals but also start-ups, access to capital is essential to achieve growth, innovation, and strategic projects. Whether it concerns acquisition financing, refinancing, or working capital structures, the legal and tax structure of the transaction largely determines its success.
HVK Stevens supports companies in setting up the right legal infrastructure for financing transactions. From syndicated loans to securitization transactions, we provide a solid foundation that meets both Dutch and international requirements, both fiscal and regulatory.
Structuring financing transactions
Well-structured financing not only provides access to capital, but also minimizes risks in the areas of taxation, governance and compliance. Our experts advise on matters including:
- Securitized debt financing: structuring securitized debt financing and asset-backed securities.
- Loan agreements and covenants: legal and tax alignment of terms and conditions.
- Cross-border structures: setting up financing vehicles in multiple jurisdictions, with an eye for transfer pricing and substance requirements.
- Intercompany financing: optimization of internal loans and cash management.
Our approach is both committed and multidisciplinary: we combine corporate law, taxation, and other international regulations to ensure that the structure is not only effective today but also future-proof.
Compliance and tax certainty
In the current international context, regulators and tax authorities place high demands on transparency and documentation. By integrating compliance aspects at an early stage, we reduce the risk of delays or disputes during the financing round and ensure that the structure is sustainable and efficient.
HVK Stevens, international coordination in corporate financing
Many of our clients work with financing structures that span multiple countries. Thanks to our international network of lawyers and advisors, we quickly integrate local regulations and market practices and have documentation reviewed by local specialists.
This makes HVK Stevens a strategic partner for both the head office and local teams of multinationals.
Strategic advice, even after closing
Our role does not end with setting up the structure. We also advise on the long-term impact of financing decisions, refinancing, and adapting to continuously changing laws and regulations. In this way, we contribute to sustainable financial stability and strategic agility.
HVK Stevens offers companies a combination of specialist knowledge, pragmatic solutions, and international clout, which is essential for successful financing in a complex, cross-border context.
