Norton Rose Fulbright further expands international capital markets team with partner hire in Amsterdam

Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright has today announced the appointment of Peter Voorhees as a partner in its Amsterdam office, further strengthening its international capital markets capabilities.

Peter joins the firm from Simmons & Simmons, where he led the Amsterdam capital markets practice. A US-qualified international capital markets lawyer, Peter brings extensive experience advising investment banking, governmental, and corporate clients on complex, multi-jurisdictional debt and equity transactions. His client base includes several of the most significant issuers and underwriters active in the Dutch and international capital markets.

Peter has been recognised in various legal guides, including The Legal 500 (Tier 1 - Debt), Chambers Global, and the IFLR1000 as a leading capital markets practitioner. His practice spans medium-term note, commercial paper and structured finance programmes, bond issuances, liability management transactions, and equity-related offerings including initial public offerings (IPOs). He is also a prominent figure in ESG finance, having advised leading issuers of green, social, sustainability, and sustainability-linked bonds across the Dutch market.

Madhavi Gosavi, Head of Norton Rose Fulbright's Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific banking and finance practice, said:

"Over the past three years, we've made significant investments in our capital markets practice across the globe, welcoming seven new partners in London, Dubai, Germany, Hong Kong and Paris to meet growing client demand and to deliver seamless cross-border capital markets advice to some of the world's leading corporate and governmental issuers, and investment banks. Peter's deep expertise and strong track record in both traditional and ESG-related capital markets transactions will be invaluable to our clients."

Saskia Blokland, Head of Norton Rose Fulbright's Amsterdam office, commented:

"We're delighted to welcome Peter to our Amsterdam team. His appointment enhances our ability to offer comprehensive banking and finance services to both Dutch and international clients. Peter's experience and collaborative approach align perfectly with our values, and we look forward to the contributions he will make to our practice."

Peter Voorhees said:

"I'm excited to be joining Norton Rose Fulbright at a time of such dynamic growth in its capital markets practice. The firm's global platform, collaborative culture, and commitment to innovation in areas like ESG finance make it an ideal environment to further enhance my practice. I look forward to working with colleagues across the firm to support our clients in navigating increasingly complex capital markets."
