Less than one month after Scott+Scott officially launched an office in Amsterdam, the U.S.-based firm has recruited a partner and two senior lawyers for that office – its only one in continental Europe.

Damiën Berkhout has joined the firm as a partner from the Dutch law firm Buren, where he was also a partner. He previously worked for the Benelux law firm Stibbe in Amsterdam.

Stefan Tuinenga and Marianne Meijssen have also made the move. Tuinenga was previously head of the Fair Trade Authority of Curacao, and Meijssen joins from the Dutch independent law firm Maverick, which specialises in competition law. Like Berkhout, she previously worked at Stibbe.
