More than 80% of Dutch employers, working in more than 40 sectors, are covered by a mandatory pension scheme administered by industry-wide pension funds. If you are starting a new company, if your business activities change or if you are registered by a mandatory industry-wide pension fund, a scope study must be carried out.
By working with us, you will have a highly experienced team of pensions lawyers at your side. Our Dutch team consists of professionals with extensive experience in various pension legal disciplines, including the conduct of scope investigations with regard to mandatory industry pension funds.
Drawing on this experience, we can help you solve any issues or challenges both nationally and internationally, in a timely and efficient manner.

- advising an Irish company regarding compulsory affiliation in a mandatory sectoral pension fund BOUW (pension fund for the Dutch construction sector). The company employs employees in the Netherlands for a short period of time
