Track record

Marco was appointed as insolvency administrator in the bankruptcy of Plantenkwekerij Jongerius Houten B.V. in late December 2025, and in early 2026 also in the bankruptcy of Jongerius Onroerend Goed B.V. Jongerius was the largest organic plant nursery in the Netherlands, based on a site of approximately 30 hectares in Houten. Marco initiated a sales process in which multiple parties submitted bids and ultimately reached agreement with investor Wim Beelen (Larendael) on a restart of the business, including the acquisition of land, greenhouses, machinery, production lines and installations.

Kelly, Marleen and Lennard concluded a settlement agreement for a foreign client in a long-running dispute about the enforcement of a foreign arbitral award. The settlement agreement will be notarised so it can be enforced without court intervention. Significant sanctions, including penalties, apply in case of non-compliance.

Lennard successfully represented a director and several companies that were being held liable for full legal costs of €400,000 incurred in earlier proceedings. The court ruled in favour of Lennard’s clients, finding that they had not abused process or acted unlawfully through their litigation conduct. The claimant was ordered to pay AMS’s client €13,853.00 in legal costs.

Sander, Kelly and Lennard assisted a Danish/American client at a WHOA hearing. The client had a claim against a Dutch debtor who tried to prevent and/or delay attachments by obtaining a cooling-off period. Sander, Lennard and Kelly managed to prevent this. The client was then better able to collect the remainder of its claims.

Marleen was appointed as bankruptcy trustee of a private limited company involved in an inquiry procedure. The procedure does not end upon bankruptcy. As part of the restart of the business, Marleen negotiated that the inquiry had to be withdrawn.

In November 2023, Sander was appointed bankruptcy trustee in the insolvency of BN International B.V. Until its bankruptcy, BNI was one of Europe’s largest wallpaper manufacturers, with a turnover of around €64 million and 121 employees. In order to realise as much value as possible for the creditors, Sander sold BNI’s land, factory buildings and production lines.

Onno and Sander acted for the German investors’ association SdK (Schutzgemeinschaft der Kapitalanleger e.V.). In the public WHOA proceedings of Steinhoff International Holdings N.V., the Amsterdam District Court confirmed the plan on 21 June 2023. The case involved approximately €10.4 billion in debt and was one of the largest WHOA restructuring cases to date.

Acting as lawyer and trustee, Lennard and Hidde filed a petition with the Amsterdam District Court to reopen the liquidation of a cooperative following a turbo-liquidation. The court granted the request in part because the liquidated cooperative needed to continue to exist in order to be sued.

As bankruptcy trustee in the insolvency of Disq Mobile Gym Nederland, Nienke successfully claimed the return of fitness equipment that had been wrongfully sold shortly before the bankruptcy through an unlawful pledge and execution. The opposing party’s appeal was also dismissed.

As bankruptcy trustee, Marleen filed a claim as injured party in criminal proceedings for bankruptcy fraud (prejudice to creditors) by siphoning off assets (money) from the estate of his company, of which he was director, and by failing to keep proper accounts and to hand over the full administration to the trustee. The claim was awarded.
