How can we help?

Pension law is about building pension arrangements and entitlement to a pension. What does a pension scheme entail? What should you consider when changing a pension scheme? Sometimes, an employer falls under a compulsory Industry Pension Fund. As an entrepreneur, how do you become aware of this? To answer these questions, you can turn to a pension lawyer.

In the past, pensions received too little attention, while the risks were high. Consider, for example, the role of pensions in company takeovers. How do you solve this as an employer? And what effect does it have on the purchase price? We’re also happy to help you with issues concerning the amendment of pension agreements or co-determination on the adjustment of a pension scheme. As pension law covers various topics, we have made a selection for you.
