Strategic and innovative legal and tax services offered by our Pensions Industry Group
National pension systems are under more and more pressure. Increased life expectancy, aging populations, and sliding interest rates have resulted in an expanding funding gap. To relieve companies and pension funds, local and European lawmakers have designed new financial legislation and funding rules. As well as an important employment benefit, pensions must be treated as a financial product. New and innovative vehicles like PPI, multi OPF, CDC, and annuity contracts are increasingly in use.
All this pressure calls for a strategic, integrated approach from companies and financial markets alike. The Baker & McKenzie Amsterdam Pensions Industry Group is a multidisciplinary team of dedicated professionals from various practices: Employment & Pensions, Banking & Finance, Litigation, Notarial Services, and Tax. Combining many years of experience, they provide comprehensive, fully integrated high-end legal and tax advice.
