Two Dutch MPs are pressing The Netherlands Minister of Justice to investigate the impact of Clifford Chance’s (CC’s) billing culture on the country in the wake of the internal memo which labelled the global firm’s billing targets as “dehumanising”.

Last week the two MPs, Gerritjan Van Oven and Aleid Wolfsen, sent six written questions to justice minister Jan Hein Donner to highlight law firm regulation issues following the public row over CC’s billing targets.
