Start with jurisdiction
Local advice first.
Coordination where it matters.
Amsterdam-based counterparties, employees, assets, and disputes can create a distinct local-law need inside a broader China matter.

Netherlands counsel leads
Local counsel should lead on questions governed by Netherlands, including regulatory, transaction, employment, property, dispute, and private-client work.
02
PRC counsel may also be needed
China-side approvals, ownership, foreign exchange, tax, data, employment, evidence, and enforcement may require a coordinated PRC workstream.

Who is published for Amsterdam?
This page currently shows 3 published profiles covering Company Formation (2), Trade and Customs (1). Open a profile for firm, language, and directory status, then confirm admission and scope with counsel.

Counsel admitted in Netherlands should lead on Netherlands law. Add PRC counsel when the file includes a China company, approval, tax, data transfer, employment, evidence, or enforcement step. Do not assume one profile covers both.

Use the Netherlands directory for more published profiles. Match the practice on the profile to the China-side issue rather than the city name alone.
