Bio

Ep Hannema is a corporate lawyer (advocaat) based in Amsterdam. He is active in private equity and M&A with a particular focus on the financial institutions and retail- and food sector. Ep has worked on several major transactions on behalf of Dutch insurance companies. In addition, he represents all large Dutch insurance companies in the ongoing restructuring of the Dutch Aviation Pool and has also been involved with the DSB Insurance companies. With a (non-legal) background in the retail industry, Ep has also advised Dutch supermarket chain BV Sperwer Holding (Sperwer) on the acquisition of the Edah and SPAR retail chains, as well as on its bid for Super de Boer NV, for a total value of 514 Million Euro. In addition, he has advised BMW on its acquisition of ING Car Lease (deal value incl debt 3.5 Billion Euro). Furthermore, he also regularly advises boards of both listed and non-listed companies on corporate governance, compliance and restructuring issues, and advises clients on their outsourcing activity. At present he is involved in several large scale investigations in relation to (alleged) fraud and corruption issues within International Companies. Norton Rose Fulbright has extensive experience in this field and is, because of its global footprint (including the US) well placed to advise Dutch companies potentially facing these issues. Furthermore, he has been advising several important stakeholders in the bankruptcy of DSB Bank and - more recently - the nationalisation of SNS Reaal. Ep has contributed to a wide range of Dutch financial and legal publications, including Het Financieƫle Dagblad, and is a frequent conference speaker, in particular on Business Ethics issues. Ep graduated in Law at the University of Leiden.
