Pension

Pension issues are complex. Employers, employees and pension administrators have diverging interests that require customised solutions. Employment law, insurance law and supervision laws require close attention. Co-determination complicates relationships. Internationalisation offers opportunities, but also poses risks. The Dutch Pension Act has tightened supervision of the financial structure and set-up of pension funds. The market, too, is more critical, and ‘liability’ has become a buzz word. The current economic situation highlights the importance of clear arrangements and unambiguous wording. How can you make sure you come out on top?
