NautaDutilh has made up seven new partners across its offices in the Netherlands, Brussels and London, the largest number of partner appointments the Dutch firm has ever made.

Nauta’s corporate, banking and finance and intellectual property groups have benefited most from the new partners, which will take its total partner number to 85 from 1 January 2007.

The appointments include David Viëtor, who has been promoted to partner and head of Nauta’s London finance team.
