In the past two years, several foundations whose sole aim is to bring class action lawsuits have been incorporated in the Netherlands. These claim vehicles have taken aim at the anti-competitive behavior of Apple and Google, the data collection practices of TikTok, Salesforce and Oracle, the company misconduct of Airbus and the service charges of Airbnb.

International law firms have taken note. U.S. litigation law firm Scott+Scott went first, opening an office in the country’s capital in 2019. Global boutique litigation firm Hausfeld established a base in Amsterdam a little later through a tie-up with local firm Zippro Meijer, while global litigation firm PGMBM launched its first office in the Netherlands this past December.
