De Brauw and Duisenberg school of finance forge partnership 

De Brauw and Duisenberg school of finance have forged a partnership for a period of three years to benefit from a closer cooperation between financial and legal professionals. De Brauw and the Duisenberg school of finance will jointly develop business activities, and De Brauw's legal experts will be guest lecturers in the Finance and Law Program of Duisenberg school of finance. Amsterdam aims to become an internationally recognised breeding ground for talent and to create a virtual network of financial, professional, academic and other research institutions focused on innovation and the sharing of scientific knowledge.

Professor Dirk Schoenmaker, Dean of Duisenberg school of finance: "Our goal is to be pivotal in more closely allying academia and industry. Creating a strong network where knowledge is shared and developed, and training a new kind of financial professional, contributes to strengthening Amsterdam as a breeding ground for leaders in finance. This partnership with a progressive firm like De Brauw fits perfectly."

Martijn Snoep, managing partner of De Brauw: "Duisenberg school of finance perfectly fits with our finance practices. The financial world is increasingly driven by a wide variety of rules. The partnership also gives us the opportunity to further contribute to the ambitions of Amsterdam in this area and the continuing development of professionals where finance and law intersect."
