Maarten Hoelen joined Baker McKenzie in 2006 and regularly advises multinational operating companies on Dutch corporate national and international tax law and formal tax law.

His clients consist primarily of innovative (Dutch) multinational companies. He assists them on setting up efficient international tax structures and assisted them with several mergers and acquisitions to grown their organizations.
