With two offices in the Netherlands, CMS has the depth of resource to ensure end- to-end delivery on both international and national instructions. We work in partnership with national and international businesses, from multinationals to start-ups, to meet their business objectives, deliver projects and close deals.

We combine global reach and perspective with local roots to serve clients at every stage of their development. We aim to have a real understanding of clients' businesses, sectors, motivations and ambition through which we form lasting relationships where we genuinely advise our clients -not simply execute instructions. Being immersed in the industry sectors our clients operate in is at the heart of what we do. Our focus is on delivering measurable results - not just opinions.

We are a full-service firm covering a broad range of practice areas and sector groups.
