Gijs has very broad experience in the corporate transaction practice and during his time at NautaDutilh he advised on a great number of M&A transactions, private equity transactions, joint ventures and matters related to listed companies, both with a national and international dimension.

In addition, he advises companies on complicated commercial contracts and acts regularly as a sounding board for management and officers on strategic matters. Partly as a result of the fact that he was NautaDutilh’s resident partner in London for six years Gijs has a vast international network.

From 1984 to 2012 he was a lawyer at NautaDutilh, the last 20 years as a partner. After leaving NautaDutilh, Gijs became one of the founders of FG Lawyers, which opened on 1 March 2013.

Gijs Gerretsen graduated in 1983 from the University of Utrecht. In 1984 he completed a Master of Comparative Law programme at the University of Illinois.
