About Ace Legal
At Ace Legal, we believe legal advice should be practical, straightforward, and tailored to your business needs. Through a transparent approach and the use of innovative tools, we simplify complexity and deliver high-quality solutions that fuel growth – while placing personal relationships at the heart of everything we do.
We believe that the right legal guidance shouldn’t hold deals back – it should accelerate and strengthen them.
With deep expertise in Mergers & Acquisitions, Private Equity, and Venture Capital transactions, our lean and distinctive setup allows us to combine the skill and experience of top-tier firms with fair, accessible pricing. This model also enables us to provide flexible fee arrangements (just ask us for details) without ever compromising on quality.
Each client gets a dedicated point of contact for seamless communication, backed by a team capable of handling large-scale transactions. For matters outside our core focus or beyond in-house capacity, we tap into our trusted network of financial, tax, notarial and other experts – both nationally and internationally.
We work fluently in Dutch and English, ensuring smooth collaboration across borders.
Let’s move forward, together.

Background
Ace Legal was founded by Bas Kruijt, a seasoned corporate/M&A expert with deep expertise in (cross-border) transactions across various sectors. He built his career as a lawyer at two leading Amsterdam law firms before transitioning in-house as legal counsel for a major real estate investor (AUM €15B+). Bas has also set up legal departments for multiple companies and brings first-hand entrepreneurial experience to the table.
Having worked on both sides of the deal, he understands the perspectives of all stakeholders—allowing him to serve as a strategic partner, not just a legal advisor. His pragmatic, no-nonsense approach is paired with creativity, dedication, and genuine curiosity about your business, ensuring an efficient and effective working relationship.
