IND recognised sponsors in Legal, Tax & Accounting

67 organisations we have classified into this sector appear on the IND public register of recognised sponsors, as held in our copy of 1 July 2026. International tax, transfer pricing and cross-border corporate work sponsor regularly, because the Netherlands hosts a large share of European holding and treasury structures. Dutch-law practice does not.

Where these employers are

Zuidas in Amsterdam holds the international law and tax firms; Rotterdam adds trade, shipping and energy practices, and The Hague adds international and public law institutions.

Roles that typically qualify

International tax advisers, transfer pricing specialists, corporate finance lawyers with a common-law background, statutory reporting and IFRS specialists, and legal counsel in multinationals.

What recognised sponsor status does and does not mean

A recognised sponsor is an organisation the IND has admitted to its register, which allows it to apply for a highly skilled migrant permit on your behalf under the fast procedure. It is a permission the employer holds, not a promise it makes. An employer on this list may have no vacancies, may not hire outside the EU, and may still decline to sponsor a particular hire.

Practising Dutch law requires admission to the Dutch bar. Foreign-qualified lawyers usually work on cross-border, English-language or home-jurisdiction matters instead.

The salary you would need to clear in 2026

The highly skilled migrant criterion is a gross monthly salary, excluding the 8% holiday allowance, and it does not vary by sector — the same figure applies whether you join a legal, tax & accounting employer or any other recognised sponsor.
