How we can help

Our pensions team advises mandatory industry‑wide pension funds, company pension funds, insurers and (multi)national employers on the full range of pension‑related matters. We act across both legal and tax dimensions, providing strategic guidance as well as hands‑on support when issues become complex or contentious.

We assist clients in navigating disputes brought by pension participants, pensioners’ foundations, pension funds and (former) employees, including claims relating to damages, indexation and compensation. Our deep knowledge of the Dutch Pensions Act (currently the Future Pensions Act), its legislative history and relevant case law enables us to work efficiently and effectively, whether through advisory work, regulatory approval processes, litigation, mediation or settlement.

We also have extensive experience advising on pension aspects in mergers & acquisitions and other corporate transactions, acting for both sellers and buyers across mandatory industry‑wide schemes and insured pension arrangements.

Topics we advise on:
  • Pension litigation
  • Amendment proceedings of pension schemes
  • Works council proceedings regarding pension arrangements
  • Collective value transfers between pension administrators
  • Buy‑out transactions involving pension assets
  • Mediation in pension damage matters
  • Transition advice under the Future Pensions Act (‘transitieplannen’ and ‘implementatieplannen’)
