Landfall Partners

Amsterdam · The Netherlands

Your landing partner in Europe

An advisory partner with boots on the ground across Europe. For successful Chinese technology and AI companies, we make a plan around your request in any European country and bring in the right capabilities.

“Your European ambitions deserve more than an introduction. They deserve a trusted partner who plans around your needs, brings the right capabilities and stays until you have landed and beyond.”

What we do

Europe looks like one market. On the ground it is many.

Every country has its own grid, permits and rules. For a successful Chinese (technology) company the question is not whether to take the step to Europe, but who to trust on the spot to make it work.

We are a seasoned team, well connected and quick to move. Based in Europe and active in China for more than 20 years, we know how Chinese companies work and which doors to open in any European country. Every plan is built around your company, and we stay once you have landed.

How we work

Five steps, one team

We act as your local colleague in Europe, part of your team on the ground. Each step ends with a document you can share with your management team, and a decision that is yours.

  1. Intake

    We check ownership, funding and fit, and give you a one-page brief for your management team.

    You decide Go on to the plan, or stop here.

  2. Plan

    We compare countries and risks and give you a plan with cost and timing, on a fixed fee.

    You decide Start delivery, adjust the plan or stop.

  3. Specialists

    We select the right advisers per country and topic, with scope and cost agreed up front.

    You decide Approve the team, or appoint your own adviser.

  4. Delivery

    A Founder or project lead keeps the plan on track and reports to you on one page, in English and Chinese.

    You decide Sign off at each milestone.

  5. Handover or stay

    We hand over a complete project file, or stay on as your local representative.

    You decide Take over, or keep us on board as your local team.

You decide at every step

Go on to the plan, or stop here.

Start delivery, adjust the plan or stop.

Approve the team, or appoint your own adviser.

Sign off at each milestone.

Take over, or keep us on board as your local team.

Why Landfall Partners

Four commitments you can hold us to

You want to know who you are dealing with, and on what terms. These are the commitments we make.

  1. Personal commitment

    The Founders lead or directly supervise every engagement.

    One point of contact across countries, advisers and authorities, instead of many.

  2. Legal backbone

    One of the largest law and notary firms in the Netherlands stands behind every engagement.

    With a network of advisers across Europe. You may always appoint your own counsel.

  3. Clean terms

    We are paid by you, not by the advisers we bring in.

    Fixed fee for the plan. Advisers invoice you directly or at cost, no referral fees. Co-investment only under a separate agreement, with full disclosure.

  4. Discretion

    Confidential from the first conversation.

    We run a conflict check before every engagement.

Clear boundaries

We coordinate recognised advisers and give no legal, tax or investment advice ourselves.

No sanctioned or export-restricted parties, so your project stays clean when Europe screens it.

No military or surveillance use.
