We advise large and medium-sized enterprises, and their employee representative bodies, pension providers (pension funds, insurance companies, and PPI’s), and their administrators on various pension-related matters. This may include, among others:
- The implementation or amendment of pension schemes, as well as the review of pension regulations and execution agreements, for instance in relation to the Dutch Future of Pensions Act (Wet Toekomst Pensioenen).
- Advising on the role of the works council or employee representation in the implementation or amendment of the pension scheme.
- Reviewing the applicability of scope provisions of mandatory industry-wide pension funds and the possibilities for exemption/dispensation from mandatory industry schemes.
- Interpreting execution agreements between companies and their pension provider.
- Advising on the level of pension entitlements of employees and pension beneficiaries, including indexation.
- Assessing the statutes of pension funds and other legal fund documents.
- Advising on the implications for pension schemes and their administration in the context of mergers and acquisitions of companies. We provide both due diligence in the pension area and can draft texts for pension guarantees and indemnities in acquisition agreements.
Our advice is solution-oriented and pragmatic. Naturally, we aim to resolve pension disputes without court intervention. However, if that is not possible, we also represent you in legal proceedings.
We have an extensive network of independent pension advisors, such as actuaries, tax specialists, and notaries, allowing us to provide integrated advice in collaboration with these experts.
