Rudolph Snethlage

Rudolph Snethlage is a lawyer and partner at TK. He has decades of experience guiding transactions such as corporate acquisitions, venture capital and private equity deals. He is at home in controlled auctions, MBO/MBIs, pre-exits and leveraged buy-outs. He also acts for management teams that are 'allowed' to co-invest.

Not a drammer, but an advisor who works steadily towards closing.

Experience and background

Rudolph studied Dutch Private Law in Utrecht and started practising law in 1986. Prior to TK, he worked, among others, at Trenité, Van Doorne and at Landwell, PwC's law firm.

Rudolph Snethlage has guided all our acquisitions for over 15 years now. He is highly experienced, which results in calmness and overview. As an advisor, Rudolph keeps focus on what really drives the deal, accompanies us from start to finish and is available 24/7. In doing so, he has a feel for relationships and emotions involved in mergers and acquisitions. As a result, an initial draft SPA is often perceived by the other party as balanced and reasonable. Furthermore, TK is always accurate and efficient in its work. - Robert Timmer - CEO Indutrade Benelux
