Happy New Year! FG Lawyers welcomes Thom Beenen.

FG Lawyers starts the new year strong with the arrival of yet another new partner. Following Eduard Fasseur joining on November 1, 2022, our team will be further expanded as of January 1, 2023, with Thom Beenen. Thom brings over 8 years of experience as a lawyer and joins FG Lawyers as a partner to further develop our financial law practice.

“We are delighted to welcome Thom to FG Lawyers. His arrival strengthens our Financial Supervision Law team and enables us to offer our clients an even broader range of expertise and experience than before. With his entrepreneurial spirit and drive, Thom provides not only sharp advice but also acts as a sparring partner for the strategic challenges faced by our clients.” — Anne Hakvoort

Since 2015, Thom has worked daily in financial law. He advises national and international financial institutions and fintechs—including banks, investment firms, (managers of) investment funds, payment institutions, crypto service providers, and alternative financing platforms—on the (business) impact of Dutch and European financial supervisory and securities law. Thom has a particular interest in fintechs that bring innovative products and services to the market.

“Since the fall of Lehman Brothers, the financial sector has been subject to increasing regulation. In addition, current developments in digitalization, combating financial-economic crime, and sustainability present significant legal challenges. This makes effective supervision of financial institutions urgent. As a lawyer, I enjoy guiding our clients through this complex landscape of financial laws and regulations.” — Thom Beenen

Thom worked as a lawyer at NautaDutilh from 2015 to 2019 in the Financial Law and Financial Litigation practice groups. From 2019 to 2023, he was a lawyer at Clifford Chance in the Financial Markets Group, focusing on Fintech and Financial Regulatory matters.

“I am very excited to join FG Lawyers as a partner, where I will focus on providing practical advice to our clients on financial law in its broadest sense. I look forward to further developing the practice and the excellent reputation of FG Lawyers. (Thom Beenen)”
